my "guess" is that you have created a folder with a + in the name.

Got it. My wife's computer packed up a while back so I set up a login for her. She has the "+" sign in some of her folders. I don't expand her login so I didn't see any "+".

Interestingly, her Windows instance of TB doesn't complain. Just my Linux instance. Looks like I need to delete her login. Aklso odd that other characters that are meaningful to the shell (e.g., & in one folder name) don't cause a problem but "+" does.

Thanks, Dave

Looks like there is a key that isn't getting deleted when an account is deleted. I thought I had resolved the error message problem by removing my wife's account from my Thunderbird instance. Haven't seen it since the above post. Just got it again:

Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+01/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+01/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names

Weird.
