I have now located the bookmark.html file and cp'd that over to the  
seamonkey directory.
    

And it works?
  

Apparently, yes.

Now I need to recover the passwords - does anyone know what those might  
be called under Iceape?
    

Firefox/Iceweasel uses, IIRC, the files secmod.db and signons*. But that
is documented somewhere on mozilla.org, you should be able to find exact
instructions there.
  

Cheers!  That confirms actions I took yesterday evening.  I was working on the premise that one of those files must store the hash-table, and I did see the secmod.db file (no signon) in the default of ~/.mozilla and secmod.db plus signons.sqlite in the ~/.mozilla/seamonkey directory.  I backed up the seamonkey secmod.db and cp the secmod.db from the default into seamonkey.  Fired up seamonkey and no go. 

To be honest, this is more of a PITA than the issue with the bookmarks was.  But that part is sorted, and I know what I'm looking for now should this kind of thing happen again, so ... I'm happy with that result.

Thanks for responding to my call for help, Jochen!
