I am thinking now, that I may have been mistaken - I think that the three separate menu entries to which I refer, were for the iceape suite, which was a Debian version of Seamonkey, which was similar to, but not exactly the same as, Seamonkey. The next time that I do a system update (as the currently outstanding update, involves a kernel update, which requires a system reboot, and the reboot, with restoring browser sessions, takes a couple or a few hours, so, gets deferred until it is less inconvenient), I need to remember to examine the installations of Debian 6 and the previous (10.04 and 12.04) installations of Ubuntu, to find whether I am correct, in believing now, that it was in fact iceape, and, not Seamonkey, that had the separate menu entries for the separate components. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
