Steven, have you attempted or do you plan to get Seamonkey working in BL2? 
If not, I may ask The Answer Gang for help with this.  Or install 
Slackware 9.1 and use that to browse instead of BL or chrooted SW11.

Can I upgrade libX11 by just changing the libraries in /usr/X11/lib to 
those from Slackware 9.1 to match the SW91 glibc 2.3.2 in case this is 
some i18n (UTF?) incompatibility problem and glibc has to match libX? 
(Do you understand what is going on here?).  I could extract via SDF 
and download under 1MB of files if I replaced only libX11, libXext and 
libXi, used by Seamonkey.

Slackware 11 does work but it requires glibc 2.3.6, and precompiled 
Seamonkey only 2.3.2.

I don't want the entire enormous Xfree 4.3.0 package (which replaced 
xlibg.tgz) with xdm, xkb (though this might get a softphone working), 
many pages of bin, icons, locale....

I might copy BL2 to another partition and experiment on it. 
Any other ideas?
