   When you set up your Windows SeaMonkey profile, the Windows-styled   
   addresses of associated files would be placed in the Config file (or   
   whatever).   
      
   Then, when you set up your Linux SeaMonkey profile (with it pointing   
   towards the Windows Profile), the Linux styled addresses of associated   
   LINUX files would also be placed in the SAME Config file.   
      
   At least this WAS the case for my Laptop where I had set up the Linux   
   SeaMonkey pointing to the Windows Profile. My thoughts might change when   
   I set up Linux and Linux SeaMonkey on this Desktop.
