Hi,

   I'm running SM 2.40 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and have been trying to
follow the Linux Installation Instructions on

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall

My desktop is the default Unity version, whereas the instructions
refer to the GNOME Panel,  so where the instructions say

[QUOTE] To hook up SeaMonkey complete with icon to the GNOME Panel,
follow these steps:

    Click the GNOME Main Menu button.....[/QUOTE]

I'm lost!  I don't have a GNOME Menu button,  or if I do, I haven't
recognised it!!

I've managed to install a copy of the SM icon from
seamonkey/chrome/icons/default/default.png in my Unity launch strip as
I hope you'll be able to see in my attached "unity.jpg", but I've
failed to get that icon to display correctly when I'm using alt-tab to
switch between different applications.

Instead of displaying a "default.png" in alt-tab,  I've only managed
to get a question mark.   See my attached "alt-tab.jpg".

Can anyone please explain where I should look and what I should do to
change that "?" for a "default.png" ?

   Tks,    +  John



Alt+Tab gets that icon from the operating system. Since Ubuntu no longer
provides SeaMonkey it no longer has the SeaMonkey icon.

I created a desktop launcher for my SeaMonkey, and when it is open my
Alt+Tab shows a spring with a platform on top. Which must be a generic
icon from Ubuntu. Interesting that yours is a question mark.

Could it be because of our different methods of creating a launcher?


I installed using ubuntuzilla PPA. I created a desktop shortcut to add Actions like Mail and such. I get the icon on ATT+TAB. Here is my seamonkey.desktop, you can edit/create:

.local/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
StartupWMClass=Seamonkey
Name=Welcome to SeaMonkey - SeaMonkey
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=seamonkey
StartupNotify=false
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
Version=1.0

X-UnityGenerated=true

Icon=seamonkey.png

Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;Mail;Compose;Contacts

[Desktop Action NewWindow]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=seamonkey -new-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

[Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=seamonkey -private-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;

[Desktop Action Mail]
Name=Mail Client
Exec=seamonkey -mail

[Desktop Action Compose]

Exec=seamonkey -compose

[Desktop Action Contacts]
