Thunderbird/gmail would not allow a second user with the same name and 
that got to be a hassle. So I saved the Mail files to the NFS server. I 
then, removed /home/bobg/.thunderbird, yum removed and then re-installed 
thunderbird. Copied the Mail files back from NFS. Curiously I still had 
the same problem until I rebooted this computer after which the status 
bar display returned to normal and I could once more see the connection 
information as it occurred.

Before that rebooting had no effect ...

I don't know what was wrong but the problem is fixed and I have the 
display I wanted.

Oh, while this computer was displaying the problem a second one set up 
identically, using the same Mail file loaded from NFS worked normally.

So the problem cleared while testing. :-(

Thanks all,

Bob
