You don't by chance have Gnome-DO running do you ?
If you do (it will usually be activated with <Windows Key><space>) and may have a purple icon in the notification area of your desktop.
Disable any Gnome-DO plugins for stuff you don't have or don't use. The Thunderbird one doesn't appear to be present here but I do have the Pidgin one. Googling seems to suggest that the Thunderbird plugin can cause this error to appear.
