Wierd Display Issue with Thunderbird + KDE?

[Daniel R. Curran]

I am having a very wierd issue with thunderbird. I can not describe the 
issue all that well, so I have placed an image of the problem online.

I did not see anyone mention anything similar on a search of google, nor 
a solution to said problem.

Has anyone come across something like this before? or is their any 
solution? Thunderbird behaved properly when I installed the 0.2 package, 
but when I upgraded from the port this is what happened.

Thanks for you time,
Daniel Curran
