I guess I'm still confused... just switch back to SeaMonkey 1.1.19 to
reply. The _only_ thing that I've done to install is to extract the
seamonkey-1.1.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz to a home folder
(/home/seamonkey119) and run it from there:

/home/<username>/seamonkey119/./seamonkey -no-remote -mail -browser

This version has the following working (just fine): java, flash,
prefbar, xsidebar, browser, chatzilla, mail, news. All of my profile &
plugins are in ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla/plugins.

Am I missing something obvious?

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.24) Gecko/20100301
SeaMonkey/1.1.19
