You should be able to replace any old file in your /home/$user/.netscape
directory with the same file from the "root" user, however you will need to
change owner and permissions accordingly.

Looks like a permissions problem.

Trick X into thinking its starting netscape by calling a script called
netscape located in the same directory where the executable is, mv netscape
to netscape-$version_number first. Ie;
mv netscape netscape-4.02
In the script just have a line something like;
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/path/to/netscape-4.02 -geometry 520x420+10+1 & $*

Then replace the file (possablty index.html) which netscape shows as the
default with your own file, just call it index.html.
Of course there are other ways of achiving the same results, just try all
the suggestions you receive, good luck.
