I don't know.  I was first going to try to update desga2's preBeta with code from Seamonkey.  That has not gone as well as I had hoped.  I was keeping a list of my actions and I will share it with you.
[code]
01. Used 7Zip to extract seamonkey-2.0.10pre.en-US.win32.zip to a folder.
02. Copied k-meleon.exe from my KM preBeta folder to the Seamonkey folder.
03. Executed the KM exe and it opened with this file:
      chrome://navigator-region/locale/region.properties.
04. Exited KM.
05. Replaced /chrome folder with the one from KM preBeta.
06. Replaced /defaults folder with the one from KM preBeta.
07. Replaced /modules folder with the one from KM preBeta.
08. Added /skins, /macros, and /kplugins folders from KM preBeta.
09. Added profile.ini and readme.html from KM preBeta.
10. Started KM and got an error.
11. Restarted KM and selected not to resume previous session.  KM opened OK.
12. Restarted KM and changed to Klassic skin, Favorites, other minor pref changes.
13. Removed /dictionaries, /extensions, and /isp folders.
14. Restarted KM and went to some sites, started my email from the button and 
    zoomed in and out.  Tried history - error "could not load Mozilla history".
    Looked in profile and confirmed that there is not a "history.dat" file.
15. Looked in preferences and confirmed 9 days global history and history plugin.
16. Tried to test the URL bar history but when I tried to type a URL into the bar,
    I could could get only one letter typed.  Second letter caused a crash.
[/code]

At this time, I am not sure I will continue this effort.  I have no idea what to change to make these errors go away.

Edit:  Many changes in the /components folder between KM and Seamonkey.  I do not think it is possible to move forward with my limited knowledge.  Not very hard to see why it is taking Dorian some time to adapt our code.  Many xpt functions moving to js and I have no idea if that is on a one to one basis or not.[/quote]
