i just use

> netscape-wrapper


netscape-wrapper
(http://freshmeat.net/appindex/1999/05/04/925832324.html) is just
great... gets rid of the lock files etc... also great to use in the
gnome/kde panel as the launcher for netscape (it basically does a "new
window" command, so there is almost no startup delay).
