Installing Seamonkey "manually" vs via Synaptic / Apt (Ubuntu / Mint)

[Rob Lindauer]

The Seamonkey install instructions I've been using (successfully) for a 
year or two have me expand the Seamonkey tar/bz2 file into a 
subdirectory under home, and manually add an entry in my Gnome/Kde menu, 
as opposed to installing via Synaptic/Apt.  The rationale as I recall is 
that I as nonprivileged user can thereafter add extensions, and no have 
to run as root when doing so.  Does such thinking still hold, or should 
I be using Synaptic to do the installs?  Thx, RL
