ackkkkkk, get wxpaste from windowmaker src and do this:

echo '
#!/bin/zsh

location=`wxpaste`;
netscape=/usr/local/netscape/netscape

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib-old
#export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/netscape/lib/gnumalloc.glibc.so
#export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH=$HOME/.netscape/noplugins

#ldd $netscape
#exit

proto=$location[(ws:/:)0]

case "$proto" in
    file:*|http:*|ftp:*) ( $netscape -noraise -remote "openURL($location)"
    || $netscape $location ) &; exit ;;
    esac

    $netscape $* &' > /usr/local/bin/nets

chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/nets

use nets instead of netscape (ie, in menues, the wharf, etc) then whenever
you dblclick on an url life is good.

IE4.0 active desktop eat your heart out.......
