Hmm. I am running 9.2-PRE (actually STABLE), and I have no problems with
Thunderbird. My system is at r255452 (about 2 weeks old) and I have the
following config options set:
     DBUS=on: D-Bus IPC system support
     DEBUG=off: Install debug symbols
     ENIGMAIL=on: Enigmail extension
     GCONF=off: GConf configuration backend support
     GIO=off: GIO for file I/O
     GNOMEUI=off: libgnomeui support module
     GNOMEVFS2=off: GnomeVFS2 (virtual file system) support
     GSTREAMER=off: Multimedia support via GStreamer
     LIBPROXY=off: Proxy support via libproxy
     LIGHTNING=on: Calendar extension
     LOGGING=on: Additional log messages
     OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=on: Use extra compiler optimizations
     PGO=off: Use Profile-Guided Optimization
     PROFILE=off: Build with profiling support
     TEST=off: Build and/or run tests
====> Options available for the single AUDIO: you have to select exactly
one of them
     ALSA=on: ALSA audio architecture support
     PULSEAUDIO=off: PulseAudio sound server support

I believe that the only non-standard items are OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS and ALSA
(vs. PULSEAUDIO).
