3. A SM icon automatically appears in my Unity taskbar on the left

./seamonkey. I don't know how to make that SM icon stay in
position in Unity and serve as a path link to re-open SM when needed
(Unity is relatively new to me)
For this, all you need is create a launcher for Seamonkey, see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToAddaLauncher and apply "the easy
way", in the comand field put /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey; for the
icon you can select it (double-click in non-icon button) for the
ubuntu's icons o selecting in the list "all images" you can enter
/usr/local/seamonkey/chrome/icons and select the icon for seamonkey.
Yeah, thanks but as far as I can see, that only applies for classic
Gnome panel whereas I'm trying to install SM in Ubuntu 12.04 which uses
Unity desktop, so the first step of HowToAddaLauncher - The Easy Way
fails because Unity doesn't have toolbars at the top and bottom of the
screen. I have found some complicated suggested methods involving
temporarily reverting my desktop to Gnome and back again at
http://www.geekyboy.com/archives/384, but not keen on going down such a
long road 'cos surely there must be a simpler way of adding new progs to
the Unity launcher, mustn't there??
4. Although I have Adobe Flash Player installed and it's working
fine on Firefox, I'm getting a prompt to install it whenever I try
to view pages with video content on SM.
5. In my list of installed applications, SM does not appear.
Same for me .......... but it is working. As it is not instaled through
Ubuntu Sotware Center (nor Synaptic) is normal that it not appears as
installed in the system.
Not too concerned about No 5 there, but I regard lack of Adobe Flash
Player as a show-stopping shortcoming for the browser.
On other devices in the past, I've installed SM in my /home/John
directory, but this time, I've followed the recommendation in
www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall to use the default
directory /usr/local/seamonkey/seamonkey. I'm just wondering whether
there would be any merit in starting again this time and re-installing
in /home/John. Could my launcher issue and my flash player issue
somehow be related to this change of location?
