At the seamonkey site is a 12MB precompiled binary of Seamonkey 1.1.15 
Suite (which includes chat, IRC, and email programs) compiled for GTK 1.2 
(and Glibc 2.3.6 - SW11 uses 2.3.4).  It has more features than 1.0.5 
(hopefully you can download without any images then add them later) and 
better security.  I will know more in another 30 min or so.

They are working on version 2.0 now but posted older versions.

Steven, could you compile Seamonkey Navigator (browser only) for GTK 1.2 
that would work in BL2 or BL3 with a few added libraries?

The precompiled one requires dependencies:
libstdc++.so.5.0
libglib 1.2
Xorg 6.8.2-r2 (would an older X also work for compiling?)
