Bug Description
I'm on an up-to-date Precise beta. Approximately 30% of the time that I start Thunderbird, it starts in the state shown in the attached screenshot - no accounts shown, no mailboxes shown, etc. Closing the application and restarting it will fix the problem (in my experience this has never happened twice in a row - the restart has always come up as expected). Closing the application is also the only way I have been able to work around it - clicking on any of the actions shown in the screenshot has no effect. I have not been able to determine any common pattern of when this happens and when it doesn't, and cannot reproduce it reliably. Happy to help debug if you wish though.

@Chris, I thought this was long since fixed. Can you take a look please?
