Under AIX I've used the latest beta netscape and not seen this problem
(nor with any other programs).

As I said, I don't see this, but I can take a guess at what's
happening here. Here is an excerpt from the XGrabButton man page:
If some other client has already issued the XGrabButton function
with the same button/key combination on the same window, a
BadAccess error results.
So, my guess is that you have a 'Mouse' line in your .fvwm2rc that is
conflicting with what these programs would like to do, perhaps like
so:
Mouse 1 W N Raise
I'm not 100% certain if this is really your problem, but you could use
it as a starting point for you investigation.
