Perhaps it's a one-way street. I've done this many times. It's possible 
that I originally created my first TBird install in Linux, and copied 
that profile over to my Windows box, thus preserving the Linux case 
usage. That would explain the fact that copying back from Windows to 
Linux works for me - it's the only thing that comes to mind to explain 
our different experiences - as I've said a couple of times in this 
thread, I've done this many times and it has always worked for me.
