Well, that is a pretty good theory. It turns out that I as soon as I *removed* gtk2-engines-crux, the problem with mozilla-thunderbird menus went away.
Actually, due to dependencies, I had to remove several packages:tony@honig:~$ sudo dpkg --purge gtk2-engines-crux gnome-themes gnome-desktop-environment gnome
So it's the existence of that package causes the problem. Note that I wasn't even using that theme - I'm running "Simple."
Thanks, tony
