I've got a bit further with this.  If I start the program by navigating to 
/usr/local/netscape/netscape as root I get the correct profile.  If I do 
exactly the same as user I don't.  I've made absolutely sure there is no 
other difference.  the .netscape and .netscape6 files only seem to have 
plugins, but there must be profile and preference files somewhere.  Does 
anyone know where they're going?
