The only reason it was working for me with Greasemonkey installed in the profile was that I was starting SeaMonkey with a profile switch e.g. -p default. For some reason this worked and I never noticed the problem until someone complained. I guess most people would start SM from the desktop link created by the installer. In GreaseMonkey 0.5 (when it still claimed Mozilla Suite compatibility) the install.js would install the extension part into the profile but register (DELAYED_CHROME) the extension in the app/global chrome.rdf. Now, that's, well, strange. I wonder why they did it that way?
