OK... let's try to debug this...
The Component Chooser module resides in
<KDE install dir>/lib/kde3/kcm_componentchooser.la
<KDE install dir>/lib/kde3/kcm_componentchooser.so
Here this is:
/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/kcm_componentchooser.{la,so}
Do you have such files on your system? Are there the other kcm_* modules in
this directory?
Try to see which package provides this file. This should be kde/kcontrol,
but...
Another forum post I found stated that "Component Chooser" is named "Default
Components" in Kubuntu, but you don't seem to have that either...
Also you might want to see this thread:
http://www.mepis.org/node/11792
Maybe you should ask this question in an (K)Ubuntu specific forum? As far as I
know, installing KDE on Ubuntu makes it automatically Kubuntu, so it doesn't
really matter that the original installation is Ubuntu. (Same packages, same
repositories?)
A universal workaround would be to write a wrapper script that would launch
thunderbird instead of kmail each time kmail is started. Rename the original
kmail binary to kmail.orig and create:
kmail:
#!/bin/bash
/path/to/thunderbird "$@"
However, since generally thunderbird and kmail would have different command
line parameters (probably) you'll need to do some processing of those.
I don't recommend that you use this method, unless you feel familiar with
shell scripting.
