I can't argue with that since i have no knowledge on what's going on 
with Fedora Core 5 . It's entirely possible though.

  Seamonkey used to work fine with SELinux enabled. It somehow became

Well now look a system relabeling is something different . If SELinux
wasn't told that something like that was going to happen that maybe can
make cause problems . I have a tiny situation here with auditd ( caused 
probably by an update , i updated auditd through yum and now each time
auditd shut's down it pop' out some most definitely SELinux stuff and 
then terminates gracefully

Also, removing  and then reinstalling seamonkey did not correct the 
problem.


I am not a SELinux expert but that wouldn't be the issue . if SELinux
was triggered by the relabeling , then that is the event that should be
reversed not Seamonkey. Finally i have to say that i got seamonkey from
the Mozilla Web Page by downloading the installer file and not through
yum .
