This is probably not resolvable except by the KDE developers. Go ahead 
and restore the KDE panel icon's command back to normal and purge and 
reinstall Seamonkey.

Anyway, I recently created a script to help me launch some apps easily 
regardless of what window manager I'm using; it may help you with 
launching Seamonkey:

----------------script----------------
#!/bin/bash

TMP1='/dev/shm/file.tmp.1'
CONFFILE="$HOME/.grmenu.conf"
touch $TMP1
chmod 0666 $TMP1

GRMENU='seamonkey
firefox
bbrun -w'
if [ -x $CONFFILE ]; then . $CONFFILE ; fi

echo "$GRMENU" | zenity --list --text "Choose a program." \
	--width=320 --height=300 \
	--column Command --title Program_Favorites > $TMP1

if [ -s "$TMP1" ]; then
	echo "Executing `cat $TMP1`"
	exec `cat $TMP1`
fi

-------------end----------------

Obviously, if "zenity" is not installed this won't work. I set up 
xbindkeys to launch the script when I press Control-Alt-G, but any 
hotkey system will probably work.
