I've had this happen and it was pretty simple (this may not be the case
for you). I had exited X without shutting down netscape. Reentered X
and started another netscape session. There were now two netscape
sessions running though the netscape GUI only appeared in X with one
instance. I shutdown the fresh copy after running ps -aux and seeing
the first copy of the process still running. I killed the 1st copy with
kill -9 "pid", deleted the lock file from $home/.netscape and everything
was okay.
As I say YMMV but this situation duplicated, exactly what you're
describing.
