Those are the configuration files for the menu.

That's why it isn't working from the menu. If 'seamonkey %u' is not
working, you need the entire path and program name in the command

I'm betting that it will. If it is anything like Gnome, when you open
the browse window put the mouse over the file listings, right click and
check "show hidden files".
