I don't understand the bug. Upon restart, why is Thunderbird running?
Do you have some sort of session-save preference enabled in KDE?
If that is the case, I am going to guess that this is because
Thunderbird registers something with KDE and AllTray does not. I can
attempt to see if this is a cross-desktop issue a bit later when I have
some time.
Since Thunderbird is already running as per 5.2, when you execute 5.3,
strange things will happen if Thunderbird detects it's already
running. It won't create a new window, so AllTray will have nothing to
hook into, this is unavoidable. I don't understand how 5.3 and 5.4
lead to 5.5 (Thunderbird not running).
I would suspect that if you put the command "alltray -na -s -l
thunderbird -i thunderbird" in your startup items (on GNOME, at least,
this is System→Preferences→Sessions in the "Startup Programs" tab), it
will work as you expect. Can you confirm that, if there is such an
equivalent in KDE?
