I've been using Lighting as a thunderbird plugin it for a year or more
with no problems.

Ubuntu 9.04 and now 9.10,   with the following from the repository:

Thunderbird 2.0.0.23
Lighting-extension  0.9

Ubuntu users must use the one from the repository,  the one from Mozilla
doesn't work
due to missing dependencies.

On Ubuntu 9.04 the calendar-google-provider package used to be
required,  but it seems that now only
recommended.
