Well, then it sounds wrong. What he probably wanted to say is that the
redesigned profile handling we inherited from the newer Mozilla platform
would not have supported profile switching at all, and to even get it in
SeaMonkey 2 at all we needed to emulate it in a way that actually
restarts the whole application, even if that restart might be faster
than a normal application start.
As I said, I'm not complaining, but it could have been more direct. "Because of
limitations in the upstream code, the only way we could do it at all was to
restart from scratch in another profile."
On that topic, could SM have a feature to open a new profile in another window
*without* shutting down? Yes, if you do something dumb with shared folders your
can hurt yourself...
