OK, Kevin answered your tech questions better than I could :).

OTOH, you shouldn't know what netscape looks like for the root user as it
shouldn't be launched from a root account.

Run things under an unpriviledged account unless they need to be run as
root. Even then most of it can be done via sudo ;-).
