Hi there

The best way I can describe the bug is exactly that - when you open 
Thunderbird (it is maximized) and do your email checking thing, then hit 
the minimize button.... WinXP's "minimize window" animation runs, and 
immediately the "restore window" animation occurs as well, giving the 
effect that Thunderbird "bounces" against the taskbar.  Other than that, 
minimizetotray works exactly as it is supposed to - it is in the tray 
and restores correctly when I click on it.  This animation error doesn't 
occur again until I close thunderbird and open it again. 
It only works when Thunderbird is opened in "maximized" mode. Nothing 
comes up in the JavaScript Console when I duplicate the bug.
I am using Thunderbird 1.5.0.4 (20060516) with minimizetotray 
0.0.1.2006030906+ on Windows XP Home SP2.
This is purely a cosmetic bug, but what the hell, thought I'd tell you 
anyway
Hope that helps
- Aaron
