[CALUG] Thunderbird's looks are ugly on F9

[Walt Smith]

Thanks,

Maybe I should mention Open Office looks OK.
The installation was originally Gnome, with kde not selected.
I then later installed some kde apps from the CD using a 
few RPM commands, -- kdebase which was konqueror.
I don't think I installed the kde "desktop".
