This is not a flame but it is strongly worded. First of all Why in the world are you trying to run Netscape as root security matters and that is very insecure that is why by default you can not do it. Now seems like you are pretty new so a few security pointers. First of all DO NOT log in as root always login as a user and su or sudo to root. Also I would *never* run X as root you are just asking for problems at that point. And unless the app demands it (and if you are running such a app you should know why and how you are doing it) never run networking apps as root. This is a great big hole and there is no good reason to do it.
