I meant to mention this before but I found the "places.sqlite" issue
more important.

Prior to 2.31, whenever I'd launch Seamonkey under Ubuntu 14.04 ("Trusty
Tahr") I'd get two "icons" appearing in the launcher, the icon for the
browser (the standard Seamonkey icon) and the icon for the Mail/News
client (I have both launch by default) so it is pretty easy to switch
from one to the other via the launcher.

Also, if I opened a composition window, that would create another "mail"
type icon in the launcher.

Ever since 2.31, however, I only get one icon, and it is a generic gray
icon with a question mark in the center.  Both components are still
active, and I can use those little icons in the bottom left hand edge of
Seamonkey itself to switch, but if I'm using multiple workspaces I can't
easily click back to where I want to go from the launcher.  Clicking
that generic gray icon will take me to the last Seamonkey window I was
in; not specifically to the browser or E-Mail client.

I know as a Linux (Ubuntu) user I'm in the minority here but has anyone
else seen this?


My guess is a Unity update/setting/change. I've just switched to an alternate test user in Ubuntu 14.04 using Unity, installed SeaMonkey both from the SeaMonkey project in /home/<user> and also via ubuntuzilla. Regardless of which version I use, I only get one icon on the Unity launcher with the browser, email, and newgroup windows open. If you right click on the icon you can easily switch between any of those (email, browser, newsgroup et al).

I use gnome-flashback rather than Unity, but were I a Unity desktop user I wouldn't want additional application window icons cluttering up the launcher - instead I'd rather have one icon that I can right click and select which window to switch to.

btw: (seems I've lost uppercase w on this desktop) I just fired up an Ubuntu 12.04 using 2d (it's a netbook) and on that version of Unity SeaMonkey 2.31 *does* open an icon for each (browser, mail, newsgroup). So your issue is not related to SeaMonkey, but instead to how the Unity launcher is set up. You can try asking for help on askubuntu & most likely someone there will be able to tell you how to reset the launcher to show the individual window icons.
