Newbie Question - Probably Been Asked a Million Times Before

Hello everybody,

I'm new to Linux but am a veteran of Netscape.  I've got Red Hat Fedora 
Core 3 up and running with Netscape 7.2, but with a few minor annoyances. 
  I won't go into all of them with this post, just one.  Netscape won't 
remember its window size between sessions.  Specifically, I want Netscape 
to maximize its window when I open it each time.  Strangely, Mozilla 1.7.3 
(preinstalled with Fedora Core 3) doesn't have this problem.  So is there 
a way to get it to do this?  Thanks in advance for any replies.

BTW, I'm using the default Gnome window manager, but am considering 
switching to XFCE.
