Who is responsible for the creation of the .desktop file? I cannot find any for
seamonkey, but it exists for firefox and other apps. I tried with to create
one:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=SeaMonkey
Comment=Web Browser
Exec=seamonkey
Icon=
Terminal=0
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

No difference at all. I noticed that the .desktop for firefox is
in fact xfce4 helpers - not a laucher for the actual app.

Somewhat shooting in the dark, I tried several command line options to 
seamonkey (adding them into the menu each time):
-ProfileManager           Now seamonkey doesn't even start (or aborts)
-P                        Same
-splash                   The Splash screen appears! But not the rest,
                          In fact, the splash screen remains visible,
                          it doesn't disappear as it should.

Another test: I did an 'ldd' on the seamonkey-bin executable and found quite
a few libraries that use library in the gnome-dirs instead of the ones in
the seamonkey package. But I checked and firefox does the same, so I
suspect that's ok.

I give up for now - have to get some (more) work done.
John
