Older Thunderbird (pre 1.5) worked but 1.5 and later, including seamonkey, do not with MSN, even though they support the SA (secure authentication) protocol (cannot authenticate to MSN).  When I run the ./mozilla-installer as root, it cannot connect to the display and gives a gtk error (no specifics).  AFAIK, I have resolved all the library issues.  Would appreciate any help that I could get on this.  Thanks.

1: Is there any reason for not using the version of mozilla in the 
universe repositories? I know it gives the version number as 1.7.12, I'm 
presuming the security fixes have been backported.

2: Why are you installing as root? You know Ubuntu uses sudo by default? 
My guess is that's where the problem is.
