There are a few ways to accomplish this. You can start netscape with a
-geometry option:
netscape -geometry 600x700
would give you a window of 600 pixels wide and 700 pixels long, not
including the borders. Alternatively you can put a line
Netscape*geometry: 600x700
in your ~/.Xresources or ~/.Xdefaults file, and read this in with a
command like
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources
in your ~/.xsession file.
Both the command line option and the X resource specification can be
used for a lot of X programs. See the manual page of X for more info.
