laucher confusion

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

why, when creating a launcher from a bin file of thunderbird, does it 
start the create new account wizard.? If I run this, thunderbird(soft 
link from /usr/local/bin to the bin file), in the terminal, it starts, 
with the already created accounts. But, the launcher, which points to 
the same file that the soft link points to doesn't.? Confused. The 
original file, thunderbird, is here, /usr/bin/thunderbird/thunderbird. 
Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
