I'm confident that Canonical is on top of this.

Nahh, Evolution is not the default client anymore (sadly, i prefer it to thunderbird) and Unity is built on top of compiz, where gnome-shell uses mutter. :(

Compiz is not without problems either: http://smspillaz.wordpress.com/2011/12/25/apology-2/

And Mozilla has left Thunderbird more or less. Lack of developer power seems to be a pattern within open source desktop projects.

Yes, knew about compiz, that's why it's a shame that Canonical chose this direction instead of putting more developer efforts into the gnome stuff.
