Thank you very much!
I feel a bit silly; now that I've done that, it turns out the problem
has nothing to do with my script, anyway. I've now set this and changed
my script to point to /usr/bin/netscape, but I've got the same problem:
It fails from kpanel if no netscape windows is already up, but it works
otherwise.
Now that we've eliminated the red herring, does anybody else have any
more ideas?
