I just did this upgrade. It seemed to run OK and all the email and
bookmarks from my old profile appear to have been successfully imported.
But there are a couple of issues:
1. Every time I start SeaMonkey v2.03, it asks for the master password
for the software security device. This is in spite of the fact that in
preferences->privacy & security->master passwords I have checked the
selection "SeaMonkey will ask for your master password the first time it
is needed". Surprisingly, if I click "cancel" on the password dialog box
without entering the password, SeaMonkey starts normally. Although I
apparently had entered a master password at some point with SeaMonkey
v1.18, the program wasn't asking me for it. How do I make v2.03 stop
asking me for the password? This is a VERY BIG PROBLEM for me.
2. I have several news server accounts. The first time I started
SeaMonkey mail and news v2.03, it seemed to be checking for new messages
in every subscribed group on every news server. Actually, I'm not 100%
sure *what* it was doing, but it took quite awhile before it would let
me actually view messages in newsgroups. Annoying.
3. In general, the new version seems a bit sluggish compared to the old.
I thought it was supposed to be faster.
4. Trying to compare settings and behaviors between the two versions, I
tried to start both at the same time. It won't let me do that. Whatever
version I start first, when I click on the icon for the other version it
starts a second instance of the version I have already started.
Thanks!

We have issues 2 & 3 in common. SM2 is definitely slower to load than SM1 on my
system. I chalk it up to a case of new-version-itis. I recall that the upgrade from
Mozilla to SM1 was also a bit of an ordeal, featuring glitches small and large (with
the versions featuring the large glitches being superseded more quickly than usual).
I've experienced other minor 'issues', as well, but no deal-breakers so far. I
suspect we'll be seeing frequent minor-version upgrades for some time.
According to the received, or at least frequently expressed, wisdom, hereabouts,
having SM1 and SM2 installed simultaneously may not be wise. :/
