Why? You'll be happy to know that the crashiness of seamonkey had been solved a couple of months ago. It has been and still is rock solid on my main system, my better halfs system and my gaming system (Read as Windows XP laptop). I've actually had more trouble with FF collapsing then with seamonkey. Of course YMMV As for you main question. Maybe seamonkey and mozilla clash with each other because they are so close to being the same thing. Some dev likely looked at it and said that they're too close to bother differentiating. Hence your current problem, and the problem I faced when seamonkey was first dropped into the ebuild system with nothing being built against it. B Vance -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
