Something is definitely borked with Seamonkey.
For example:
firefox -remote 'openurl(http://test.url/,newtab)'
works fine.
./seamonkey -remote 'openURL(http://test.url/,newtab)'
does not work...
iceape -remote 'openURL(http://test.url/,newtab)'
does not work...
As I mentioned previously, the Debian Iceape script seems to send the
right command to the binary. It does look like this is a problem with
Seamonkey itself. For example, in the two failed attempts above, I get:
http://test.url/,newtab
as the url appearing in the Seamonkey or Iceape url field...
As well, the general rule for Mozilla/Firefox is that they open up an url
in an existing window, if simply -remote 'openURL(http://test.url/) is
provided. This is also broken. Default now opens a new window.
Thanks!
