	Sorry but your law that you NEVER reboot Linux is in this case an
error. You have to think to understand why. And actually do it to see.

	At time one Thunderbird is up and running. You load GNUPGP and
Enigmail. Enigmail needs to modify Thunderbird a lot. It does so I think
by writing to thunderbird on the hard drive. It doesn't show up on
Thunderbird.

	Yes I think you can delete Thunderbird and then start it again and it
will work. But to just reboot is easier.
