Since your running Ubuntu Gutsy, you could open Synapic Package Manager
and as long as you have the Universe repositories enabled, look for
iceape and iceape-browser packages. 


 The description for iceape is:

The Iceape Internet Suite
The Iceape Internet Suite is an unbranded Seamonkey Internet Suite
suitable
for free distribution. The Seamonkey Internet Suite is a set of Internet
oriented applications. It is the continuity of the Mozilla Suite after
it
has been abandoned in favor of Firefox and Thunderbird.

The Iceape Internet Suite consists of:
 - an Internet browser (Iceape Navigator)
 - an HTML WYSIWYG editor (Iceape Composer)
 - a Mail and News client (Iceape Mail & Newsgroups)
 - an Address Book (Iceape Address Book)
 - an IRC client (Chatzilla)
 - a Calendar (Iceape Calendar) (not officially in the suite)

This is a meta package that depends on the main components of this
suite.
It is here to ease upgrades, installations, and provide a consistent
upgrade
path from previous versions.

=========================================================================

I installed it and then went into the Edit/Preferences and changed the
Appearence to the Modern theme and now I have the same theme as
SeaMonkey.  The Help/About Iceape shows the version info:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6)
Gecko/20070802 Iceape/1.1.4 (Ubuntu-1.1.4-1ubuntu2)
