I've tried starting suse's edition of claws-mail from a script before,
and in different window managers as well, and had the same troubles,
back in the day. Even when using the same command line as used in
kde4/plasma, iirc.

it's likely that it was because the environment was different. at least
that is what i had read somewhere. distros do thing differently, even
weirdly, than normal folk.

might try checking the path the window manager uses versus the
cli/shell. they sometimes differ, since distros prefer to follow their
own path, etc.

after all, $DISTRO knows best and users must obey, right?
