It was. Changed it first in seamonkey.desktop but no
go. Then changed it in seamonkey-navigator.desktop
which solved the problem. Now where did that other
command come from? Wish I could start a flame war on
this topic(Exec='ksystraycmd\s') and maybe find out
what the command means. Any way, will now look at the
opera browser issue to see if I can fix it.  Thanks
Gary, you did it again.

Something funny about the above URL, main part of page
was blank but found the command in the right column
and clicked it but nothing happened.  No problem
though as the issue is now fixed.  Thanks again.
