Apps [thunderbird] through wine do not display properly (intel card)

Hi!

Currently I have to travel a lot, so I want to carry a thunderbird (and other apps) portable in a pendrive... I use it everywhere to check/send mails & news... then at home, in my lovely arch, I can use it using wine...
But the thunderbird window is displayed/drawed oddly...
Almost all the time things, that I need to read, are black... I have to select text with mouse to see things... or move the mouse repeatedly over lists of things to make them to appears...

Any idea? whre to check/read/touch?

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

community/wine 1.3.28-1
community/wine_gecko 1.3-1

winecfg never touched, things as default... using KDE...

Why would you run thunderbird under wine?

Anyway, what version of thunderbird are you running, and have you checked it against the WineAppDB: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … n&iId=4257

indeed, all you need is your profile from your pendrive

Well, I said "travel", but maybe "I have to go/work out" is a better explanation... just thought it would be nice to use it that way to not have to copy/use/copy every iteration...

Try a different theme.  I've seen similar behavior and was able to make it better ( not completely fixed ) by using a theme other than the default.  Noia 2.0 extreme seemed about the best.  I don't particularly like the theme, but it worked better than any others I tried.

Intel driver bug. Version 2.16 supposedly fixes it, but I haven't installed that version yet to confirm it.

I think you're going round it the wrong way, use native thunderbird in arch and just point it to your profile.

Lol, now I realized what you all mean!
Sorry the sad clown & cybertorture too

Just run it as thunderbird -profilemanager, added a new one, then change data on profiles.ini isrelative 0 and path to profile on pendrive...

what a wonderfull world
