  Well, I don't have ahomebuttonon my personal toolbar.  Probably because

  imported my settings from 1.1 the absence of thehomebuttonwent with it.

  I don't know why the concept of having a prominently displayedHomebutton
  is a foreign concept to the Mozilla folks.  It kind reminds me having to
  re-map the [backspace] key work every time you installed Emacs: Something
  irritating you have to do immediately after every install and before you
  can do anything else.

  Do people really not use aHomebutton?  I'm pretty sure that if you put
  it right up there on the navigation toolbar by default, only an
  insignificant number of users would complain about not being able to
  disable it (the same number of people who would like to disable the Back
 button).

 If you had hidden thehomebuttonin 1.1 we seem to have accidentally
 copied that preference over to 2.0 when we shouldn't (and other buttons).

 Go to about:config

 Filter for:

   browser.toolbars.showbutton.home

 Or even better:

   browser.toolbars.showbutton

 Right click on each and select Reset
 Or Toggle-True if currently false.

 Guard us from the she-wolf and the wolf, and guard us from the thief,
 oh Night, and so be good for us to pass.

THANK YOU!!!   I finally have my home button back (now that the home
button extension would not work with SM 2.0).

Just try the following.  No, you don't have to leave it that way.

On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [View  Show/Hide  Personal Toolbar].
 Then on the Navigation toolbar, right-click on an active button or on
the SeaMonkey throbber icon; and then select Customize from the
pull-down context menu.

Do you see a house icon either on the Personal toolbar or in the
Customize Toolbar window?  Is so, you can drag it onto the Navigation
toolbar and drop it wherever you want it there.  Then select the Done
button on the Customize Toolbar window.  Return to the menu bar and
again select [View  Show/Hide  Personal Toolbar] to hide the Personal
Toolbar.

Note:  You cannot drag and drop a button unless the Customize Toolbar
window is open.

As for me, I also don't use the Personal toolbar.  I do use the PrefBar
extension and have a Home button its toolbar.  However, after
researching your question, I might move the Home button from the
Personal toolbar to the Navigation bar, which has much more room than
the PrefBar toolbar.

 (still wondering why nothing in Windows has the keyboard equivalent of 
 Emacs [Esc-D])
 
 To get the home button try this:
 Edit Preferences Highlight Navigator
 You should now see buttons you want to see in the toolbars.
 Put a check by Home then OK it.

That's for SeaMonkey 1.1.18, not for 2.0.  In 2.0, there is no Navigator
to highlight.  Only the Navigation toolbar has checkboxes, and they're
only for Search and Go.
