I know this probably won't help at all, but we've had the _exact_ same
problem with Thunderbird 3 on our XDMCP server. Users closed Thunderbird
and logged out (aka closed the current XDMCP session) and it was still
running the next morning when they returned to work, logged back in and
tried to start it anew. The neverending calls and no solution in sight
resulted in us reverting back to Thunderbird 2.0.0.23. To be fair that
wasn't our only issue with TB3 but one of the major ones.

Also, I've had nothing but trouble with openSUSE's Mozilla
implementation, which is in several ways different from the "vanilla"
Mozilla version. Which is why I dumped Novell's failed attempt at
providing me with a usable browser and email client, and just go to
mozilla.org, download the latest .tar.gz, untar it to /opt and adjust
the link in /usr/bin accordingly if necessary. Never had any problems
with Firefox ever since.
