[desktop-discuss] A problem of Thunderbird's lightning-wcap extension on Solaris

[Harry Fu]

Hi, There:

It seems that most popular Thunderbird's extensions only deliver one 
version which doesn't differentiate architectures.
But lightning-wcap doesn't:

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/releases/0.7/contrib/solaris/

The problem is that when I switch between a sparc server and a x86
server using my NIS account, I get different layout if I don't reinstall
the extension with the right version. It is not a good user experience,
I think, at least for users like me working in a hybrid environment.

To illustrate the problem I attached 3 pictures. When I installed the 
lightning-wcap for sparc and
opened Thunderbird on sparc hosts the display is like sparc.png. While 
on X86 hosts, without reinstall
the extension, I will get something like x86-1.png and x86-2.png, where 
the misplaced layout is even not changeable.

Could anyone explain if this is a expected behavior or just a bug?

Thanks!
Funix
