Try it first with a lightweight page such as the basic Google page; if it works but you don't want a default page, then try using about:blank or a local HTML file. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

The keyboard button is handy because it gives me a new window whether SeaMonkey is running or not. Or at least, it used to before 2.0. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. I had understood that if SeaMonkey 2.0 did not have focus, it worked as you wished. What I am suggesting is that if SeaMonkey does have focus, rather then having to click on your desktop, use CTRL+N to open a new window. It may not be as handy as your programmable button, but a least you don't have to reach for the mouse. Of course that won't do anything if SeaMonkey does not have focus, or is closed, but won't your button work in those cases? Again, I'm not suggesting this as a solution, just a workaround.

I have a Dell keyboard that has some programmable buttons on it via registry settings. I set one to launch SeaMonkey. In versions prior to 2.0, with SeaMonkey already running, pressing that button would open a new browser window, as desired. This no longer works when SeaMonkey 2.0 is the focused application. Instead, it causes the current browser Window to jump to my home page.
