As far as I vaguely remember, the reason is that it still uses gtk1, and

My console text has the default light gray color - until X is started.

foreground color has turned to dark gray, hardly readable on the black

I use xhfs, part of hfsutils-tcltk, to get access to an Apple HFS

When I open /dev/sda2 with it, which is where the HFS partition is

The Debian version of seamonkey is called 'iceape'.
You should install iceape-browser, e.g. with synaptic.
A symlink will not be required, since /usr/bin/iceape will be there.
