Well now I am puzzled.
As well on the MD8818 and on the IBM R40 laptop I had to copy libldap60.so, libldif60.so and libplrdap60.so from the SeaMonkey directory to /lib. When I forgot I got the missing library messages when trying to run SeaMonkey.
On the laptop I went to 2.04 SeaMonkey and I think I forgot to do this copy to /lib with lucid 114, but SeaMonkey is working ok and those libs are not in /lib.

I know the level of SeaMonkey on the MD8818 is lower.
I think I will first bring SeaMonkey on the MD8818 to 2.0.4 also and see if I still have that dbus error..

SeaMonkey issue [SOLVED]

Playdayz,
Sorry to have raised the question.
After installation of SeaMonkey 2.0.4 I don't have the problem anymore and SeaMonkey runs ok.

While I haven't tested as thoroughly as I had hoped, it seems all previous issues are resolved, with one exception.

Powerdown doesn't. When I select Shutdown | Power off computer, it gets to the last stage of shutting down, the command Power down (I think that's the command, I'm relying on memory) appears on the screen... and nothing else happens, I have to press the power switch to actually turn the machine off.

Magruder, could it be that you have one of those machines that need a code in the boot up that says

acpi=force

or some other such code.

You could search for your model and see if others have had similar shutdown problems using puppy or other linux and if it got solved with some such code.

One of my computers did need it. I don't remember which one.
I installed on two on my neighbors and two of mine own. Not the one I use now. So memory fails me
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
