I am using 11.4 with kde4.6.0 and I have thunderbird installed, but the thunderbird does not appear under email applications in kickoff. I have set it as my default email program in settings. I can launch fro kickoff search bar, but it comes up with the gear wheel and “run thunderbird” Something is amiss - can you guide me around this problem.

was it ever there, and then suddenly it was not?
if it was never there, did you install thunderbird with either YaST or
zypper? or, some other way?

This is a new clean install. It was was installed previously on 11.3 - so all the info is there, and it does run properly.
The problem is with launching it. I installed via kickoff - install remove software. The only kickoff mail application showing is kmail.
OK - I solved by rt click kickoff, edit applications and added thunderbird and icon using same format as for kmail. This works fine.
A “clean” 11.4 use KDE-4.6.0; you signature claims “KDE4.6.2”. Are you using ~/.kde4/share/config/kickoffrc copied from a diiferen installation? You could try moving it out of ~/.kde4 and seeing what happens when it is recreated at next login?
