Netscape geometry settings (and many other things) are overridden by
settings in your .Xdefaults file

Here are three of my settings:

Netscape*dontSaveGeometryPrefs: True
Netscape*ignoreGeometryPrefs: True
Netscape.Navigator.geometry: =800x720-0-0

For a look at all the possibilities and the list of builtin defaults,
check the Netscape.ad file that comes with it (on my Slackware system
this is /usr/lib/Netscape/Netscape.ad).
