I do have the Lightning plugin in Thunderbird, just to be able to read nice formatted invites to meetings etc. And that thing marks items in my calendar.
If you have notifications set, does the clock-applet pop them up?
And I do remember having difficulties to install a working version of Lightning due to 32/64 bit problems at that time.
I think had to install a 32 bit version of TB on my 64bit workstation to be able to use it then. But when TB 10 replaced the TB 2 (or was that TB 3?), I just trow out all of it, and installed the standard CentOS TB 10. Even the Lightning plugin works now too.
Maybe that was around the time when I noticed my memory problem with the clock-applet disappeared? I not sure anymore.
I just mention this because I noticed that Fred also was experimenting with Firefox 18. And until a real cause of the problem is found, everything is suspect.
I don't know anything about the mechanisms involved, but the clock-applet seemed to be aware of other stuff - and probably consumes memory in the process. The 6.x version also has a weather-checker in there.
