Yeah, sure anytime. These are not panel icon settings
as I showed and listed but I'll check against my file
settings just the same.

These were identical to mine. OK.

No output for cat seamonkey.desktop, perhaps you have
modified your path variable. I haven't, but found 3
seamonkey.desktop files with locate:
/home/lchata/.local/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/seamonkey.desktop      
 
/usr/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop
The second two had entries identical to yours but
didn;t have all the entries your file had. The
/home/lchata/.local/share/applications/ entry was most
close to yours but had the diffs shown below:

I had:  Exec=ksystraycmd\s

I had this after the icon=seamonkey entry:
MimeType=text/html;message/x-gnu-rmail;message/rfc822;message/news;message/disposition-notification;message/delivery-status;application/xhtml+xml;

I also had a few more title entries than you but all
had no entries after the = sign. 
I have no idea what "Exec=ksystraycmd\s" means or
does.  Or, if I should change it.  Suggestions? Don't
think anything else that differed has any consequence.
