I had better reply to your message before it, too, disappears! (All the
other responses from Carlos, Boyd and (?) [sorry, cannot remember name
at the moment] vanished when I went to delete some messages - vanished
as in didn't even go to the trash can to be resurrected if needed :-( .
A new quirk of the new Thunderbird 3.0 beta :-( .

Thanks, Rajko, for your response. OK, I'll go looking for the syms package.

While still in this thread, and in response to the posts I received from
Carlos etc (see above), I recall Clayton giving an answer to someone who
also lost the plasma-thingie containing the icons of the applications
that person was using. Clayton mentioned about deleting some file in
(?)~/kde4, I think, which would restore the vanished "plasma box-thingie".
