   IIRC, if it has no icon, it may be present in the menus because you set   
   some file or protocol association from within SeaMonkey.   
      
   This, done in a UNIX-like system which uses FreeDesktop "desktop entry   
   files", will probably create such a file with the details required to   
   start SeaMonkey, but I think without an icon, possibly under   
   $HOME/.local/share/applications.
