The upstream bug report is

I think there is already a related bug report in Launchpad.

In a nutshell, there is specific functionality in GTK+ that solves this problem. GNOME applications work, OpenOffice (recent versions) work, while Firefox/Thunderbird where never working.
It's an issue of a developer working on this to get GTK+ support fixed in Firefox/Thunderbird.
