I was recently emailed by Reza Naima with this.  I haven't got around to 
trying it just yet though.

got it working - yay.

found relevant bug :

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163195

download source rpm, install, copy patch to build directory from thread, 
add relevant line in spec file, do rpmbuild -ba thunderbird.spec and 
it'll produce a working rpm.
