           Summary: Cannot start seamonkey from the xfce menu
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.4.2
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: john at jcoppens.com


I added a symlink from /usr/local/bin to the entry point of seamonkey, to be
able to start seamonkey using the path. This works - I can type seamonkey from
a terminal window, and it starts (and shows). 
I then added seamonkey to the xfce menu, and, clicking nothing visible happens.
Checking processes, seamonkey-bin _did_ start up though! But no window opened.

This problem appears with 4.4.0 (which I had installed previously) and now with
4.4.2. I use the exact same procudure with firefox, and have no problem there.

To make things more strange: if I kill the desktop, and restart it, the problem
is solved (then I can start seamonkey from the menu!), but next startup, the
same problem appears again.

Help!
John

Note: I first installed seamonkey from the tar.gz, but when that didn't work,
I reinstalled from the installer, just to be sure everything was ok.
