Make sure that the correct environment variables are defined when running 
netscape. The easiest would be to replace it with a shell script like:

#!/bin/csh
# Setenv for Netscape key bindings.
setenv XKEYSYMDB /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
setenv XNLSPATH /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls/
setenv XAPPLRESDIR /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
netscape.bin -geometry 670x700+1024+0 &

(that's after renaming netscape to netscape.bin and using csh, make your 
own adaptations as needed). Note that all those defined files/directories 
should first be prepared as per the Netscape README file.

Good luck,
Nadav
