http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2748/thunderbird-hangs-the-screen-on-sending-ubuntu-gnome-compiz<p>Hello, Linux community!</p> <p>Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome, Compiz with 4 virtual desktops.</p> <p>I have Thunderbird installed from the binary repository. When I send messages, the screen hangs, I cannot click anything - it does not respond. </p> <p>If I switch to another virtual desktop with a shortcut (Alt+Ctrl+Right arrow) and release the keys - everything gets back to normal. I can switch back and Thunderbird works ok. If I switch to another screen and then I switch back without releasing Ctrl+Alt, the system hangs completely. Nothing helps, I even can't switch desktops anymore. The only option I know is to reboot.</p> <p>Did anyone have that kind of a problem? Where should I look? Should I report a but to Thunderbird or Compiz? All updates are installed</p> <p>Thank you!</p>enThu, 08 Dec 2011 16:07:57 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2748/thunderbird-hangs-the-screen-on-sending-ubuntu-gnome-compiz/2759<p>ugh. Don't replace it. reconfigure it.</p> <p>sudo dpkg-reconfigure compiz<em> &amp;&amp; sudo dpkg-reconfigure thunderbird</em></p>RonThu, 08 Dec 2011 16:07:57 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2748/thunderbird-hangs-the-screen-on-sending-ubuntu-gnome-compiz/2759http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2748/thunderbird-hangs-the-screen-on-sending-ubuntu-gnome-compiz/2750<p>This sounds like a compiz problem to me. You can try replacing compiz ( stopping it ) with another window manager. I suspect the problem will be gone. </p> <p>Your problem may be 4 desktops. If you are running the cube, you should have only 1. It will have four sides. </p>camorriFri, 25 Nov 2011 19:21:28 -0500http://linuxexchange.org/questions/2748/thunderbird-hangs-the-screen-on-sending-ubuntu-gnome-compiz/2750
