It is not the default Thunderbird install provided by Ubuntu.  I get my 
updates directly from Thunderbird because the Ubuntu repositories don't 
always keep up with the latest releases.  That is why, I believe, the 
main program is in /opt.  However, as far as I know this makes no 
difference in the way the program (TB) operates.  At the moment I am 
running vs. 2.0.0.9 TB while the Ubuntu vs of TB is 2.0.0.8.  But this 
problem with F-Spot occurred even when I was running 2.0.0.8, so I don't 
think that is the problem.

When I tried running from the command line I got "An error occurred 
while creating a message compose window. Please try again."  However if 
I try from F-Spot using the "Send E-mail" menu I get a compose window, 
but with the exception that the picture I choose is not attached as it 
should be.
