Well that didn't fix it (I just saw your note anyway), but it raises an point. I didn't realise that this is specific to Seamonkey. But I tried it on other windows including Firefox and couldn't reproduce it. But on Seamonkey, down at the bottom right of the window there is what looks like a grip. And if you hover the mouse over it, it changes to an arrow pointing diagonally down and to the right. So at that point clicking the grip causes the problem. As I am using an alpha version of Seamonkey which I compiled myself, I tried with Seamonkey 2.40. With that version you cannot see the grip but it behaves the same way. Just so I make sure I have done things right, I can use make clean make to recompile everything right? That's what I did anyway. I re-installed linux this week so all my devel libraries were gone. So I had some false starts.
