Does it?
I can't create a test profile. SM doesn't function. There are no
menu bar items. (see pic again.)
what do you mean you can't create a test profile? What does the
current problem have to do with you not creating a test profile? End
SM. I don't know how mac works, but there should be a way to end
it. If you were using windows, then you can end it with the task
manager [thats ctrl+alt+del]. Mac should have something similar.
Then look in the program folder [thats the folder that has a bunch of
icons, and it was created when you installed SM]. Inside it is
something called Profile Manager. Start that. From there, you will
be able to create a test profile. Sorry I can't help you further,
cause you're using a mac. If you were using windows, then thats
another story. Someone who knows mac will be able to help you from
what I've said.
None of that applies to Mac. I /was/ however able to create a test
profile by first clicking the mail icon. The mail window is not
broken (like the web window) and has a functional menu bar, so the
TOOLS option was there. After creating the new profile, the web
window was no longer broken (i.e. menu bar is now there).
I then quit SM, and relaunched it. Now it won't even open any real
windows! Just a non defined window that says:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://communicator/content/profile/profileSelection.xul
Line Number 53, Column 1:<dialog

Oh, well, MY SM in MY User account works fine, but I guess no guests
will ever get to use SM from the other User account.

from the email program, click on Edit, Preferences, Appearance, Theme,
and select either the Classic or Modern. Restart SM. Did that work?
My theory on all of this is that while the Seamonkey app is stored in
the Applications folder and is available to all users on a multi-User
account enabled machine, the Mozilla folder is stored in the Library
folder of each individual User and is available to only the use which is
logged in at the time - i.e.; each account has it's own Mozilla folder
in it's own Library.
Try this - open your Admin account and set up Seamonkey the way you want
it, with your multiple profiles. Then copy the entire Mozilla folder
from your Admin account Library to the Library folder of the second
(Guest, or other) User that you have set up.
If I am correct, the bookmarks, etc. of the alternate User accounts will
not stay synched, but at least you will be that much further along to
where you want to be.
