Anyone Add Thunderbird to Connect Area?

[kap09]

First off, thanks to all the users on this board. Your tips have made the first 24 hours with my one very enjoyable.

I've managed to install all the software I was hoping and add links to the default desktop as I hoped. Pidgin, Skype, VLC...they're all there.

All that's left is tbird. I've installed it, and it runs just fine. However, I can't figure out what line to add into the xml code to get it to show up.

I've tried sooooo many variations and none work. I just need to know what to insert in the _____.desktop and I'll be golden.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated. After this my one is totally setup!

try going to /usr/share/applications/ via thunar

right click the icon of tbird. edit with mousepad or gedit(if you've installed it already. i highly recommend it.)

you don't need to edit the file. just look for the filename at the window bar.


======
if you like command line, open the terminal then

cd /usr/share/applications
ls *thunderbird* (sorry i havent installed it yet so just experiment. it will list all filenames on that directory that has thunderbird in their filename.)

hope that helps.

I think it is "mozilla-thunderbird.desktop" but I don't have the A1 in front of me to check.
