From a friend:

1. In Thunderbird, click on:

Edit/Preferences/Advanced Tab

UNCLICK Enable Global Search and Indexer

Bug Report Here

I haven’t tried the solution mentioned in this other bug.

1. First, navigate to System/Preferences/Main Menu

2. Under System (in Main Menu) find Preferences.

3. Check “Multimedia System Selector”

4. Close.

5. Back to System/Prefrences

6. Now you will find “Multimedia System Selector”

7. Change the output from from “autodetect” to ALSA using the dropdown menu.

8. Hit the Test button.

9. Close

10. We’re done! (look Ma, no reboot)

The default for Lucid Linux Alpha 3 is to put the Windows Buttons (Minimise, Maximise, Close) on the LEFT side of the Window. This is NON-STANDARD.

Move Buttons to Right Corner (Like EVERYONE ELSE)

So, the new Light theme also brings a change in the Maximise, Minimise, Close buttons – it’s been moved from the RIGHT corner to the LEFT.

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout"\
 --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"

gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout"\
 --type string "maximize,minimize,close:"
