Just so I understand this correctly.  Does this mean that if you run
netscape now, the default is to open a new window if a copy of Netscape
is already running, instead of starting a new instance of Netscape?

If that is the case, could it be reconsidered.  I realise

but in my experience with Netscape, it's too buggy to reliably let you
open lots of windows.  If I have to look at a bunch of sites at a similar
time it makes more sense to open several copies of Netscape -- that way,
if one of them dies it doesn't take down all the other Netscapes with it.

IMHO, if a user runs a new netscape (as opposed to choosing "Navigator
Window" from the "File" menu) then they'll want a new Netscape process,
not just a new window.

Apologies if I've misunderstood the purpose of the change.
