What is the point of saving a sentence if you need another to explain your reasoning?Joey, to be honest, you should just save all of your sentences and quit writing. You have very little talent for it anyway. “that’s not the extensions real name but it saves an extra sentence explaining that’s what it does”?

My question is, how are we supposed to receive messages using Thunderbird Ubuntu Notification Bubble Extension (lets asume this name for now as you say) once we put the notification icon? Because we would like to receive our updates the way we want Sorry for the last comment, i put it incomplete.

I have a Thunderbird entry added to that menu entry, but I also still have the default Evolution icon there. All the article did in the end was adding a new menu entry for Thunderbird. Which I don't care about, I have a gazillion places from which I can run it. Is there a method to make this work for Ubuntu 10.10? Nice article, thanks, but it doesn’t fully work for Ubuntu 10.10.

It has too many unnecessary steps. Why would you want to use a command line to open nautilus, if it's just to go open a file with gedit?you have to read 2 paragraphs to figure out that all you need to do is open /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktopwhich can be done with the single command:gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktopthen why would you want to create a file named thunderbird somewhere, run sudo nautilus and go to the folder and copy the file, instead of creating it straight where it needs to be? I had to read that part three times to understand that all you need to do is create a file with that single line in it, which again could be done more directly by running gksudo gedit again, copying the text in it and saving it straight to /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/thunderbird This guide looks like it’s written by a neophyte.
