In Win7, the information that SeaMonkey needs to locate any profiles is

Where is the similar information stored for Linux??
I'm thinking it might be in a file something like "prof.ini" or some
such and, as I don't have such a file in my Linux profile, that might
explain why my Linux SM cannot locate its profile.
No. For Windows, it is NOT in the registry. It is at
<C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey>, where "xxx" is the
user ID.
Actually, that's just for Windows 6.x systems (i.e., Vista and later).
In Windows 5.x systems (2000 and XP) Microsoft used a different layout
of where things were stored in user profiles, and I don't have an XP
machine to check, to verify the detail. However, it is true that there's
nothing in the registry that's related to profiles handling. That's all
done via the profiles.ini file.
The better way of finding where you're going (including disambiguation
for local user name) is the way that Mozilla does it, via environment
variables:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\
In that location, you'll fine both the profiles folder, as well as the
profiles.ini file.
In Linux, the the construct is:
$HOME/.mozilla/seamonkey
In MacOS, it's similar, but the syntax is slightly different:
~/Library/Seamonkey
Remember also that profile information is specific to the user ID that
you use to log into the system. If you have more than one ID defined,
then there's separate sets of profiles for each ID that can be logged into.
