Definately. The only thing that I can think of is a video or
xserver-xorg issue. I had this happen with LibreOffice some time back:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38292
You'd zoom the page size and 'poof' back to the login you'd go. Turned
out to a combination between LO and xserver-xorg-video drivers.

Check your /var/log/xorg* and dmesg logs to see if there is any clue
there. Also check the ~/.xsession-errors.old for the same. And of course
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/system-requirements>. On that last
note the
"The following distributions should provide everything needed:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (or later)"
I'll see if I can find an ISO for CentOS 5.8 & will install it. I doubt
that will result in the same issue as I don't have a spare partition to
put it in, so I'll install it in a VM (VirtualBox and VMWare). However,
those VM's use their own vido drivers, so even then I probably won't be
able to replicate.
