I can't launch thunderbird the first time :

# mozilla-thunderbird
selected locale: en-US
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

(mozilla-thunderbird-bin:7073): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

need to use ( according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246313 ):
# XRE_IMPORT_PROFILES=1 mozilla-thunderbird

It try to start it correctly and create profile...
After it start correctly with normal command ( or link in menu icon...)...
Strange but that is the only work arround I found.

This looks like http://bugs.debian.org/292388 in libx11,
its triggered by programs opening X connections, then exec'ing
something else, which also opens a X connection.

If you are using XDM an possible workaround is to add
DisplayManager*authName:        MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1
to your /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config file
