I never heard of Seamonkey until you referred to it, but a web search showed me that it's a Mozilla project. The Linux version is based on GTK, so I wonder: does Seamonkey play well with KDE? Firefox has some problems in that context, though they're not fatal.
Before Firefox, there was only the Mozilla suite. Firefox started as just the browser portion of the suite, with a new face, and a simplified feature set: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/ue/philosophy/realities.html SeaMonkey 1 is essentially what Mozilla 1.8 would have been had it not been officially terminated by the Mozilla Foundation's management. Mozilla suite lives on as SeaMonkey, so don't be fooled by the version number. The target markets and marketing philosophy of the two are different, but the guts of both, the Gecko rendering engine and Necko networking, are identical for equivalent revision versions of each. Currently, the equivalent release versions are FF 1.5.0.2 and SM 1.0.1. Both are build using the GTK2 toolkit, but FF is more closely tied to desktop themes, particularly when SM is used with its "Modern" theme, which makes it more succeptible to desktop shortcomings. I use only KDE, and find no unexpected differences between FF & SM. -- "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." Ephesians 5:11 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
