           Summary: Thunderbird goes to 100% CPU and locks up in KDE. Works
                    ok in Gnome.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I just upgraded to OpenSuse 11.0. This problem also happened with KDE 4.0 but I thought
I's see if going to 4.1.0 fixed the problem. It didn't. 

When running in the KDE 4.1.0 or 4.0 environments: After a few seconds of opening Thunderbird, all open Thunderbird (MozillaThunderbird-2.0.0.12-34.1) windows no longer respond. A process list shows the CPU utilization of Thunderbird at 99%. Selecting the "close" icon after a bit gets the KDE warning box stating that the application is no longer responding and asking if I'd like to "Terminate" the application. 

I switched to Gnome to test and no longer get the lockups with Thunderbird. I don't know if this is a Thunderbird error or a KDE one, but the fact that the lockups only happen in KDE and not Gnome makes think the issue should be posted here.
