have you tried running update-menus, as your uid?

what exactly is happening when you try and run netscape from the 
command line?  do you get command not found or does it give an error? 
you should see something! have you tried running the real netscape 
binary instead of the wrapper script "netscape" ? (its in 
/usr/lib/netscape somewhere, called something like 
netscape-blah.smotif.real or some other such thing)


apparently a recent update to plugger for netscape has been causing 
Bus errors, removing it solves it.

without more info its hard to give suggestions!
