You shouldn't even need a WM. just have a .xinitrc or .xsession that simply starts netscape with -geometry parameter to make it fill the screen. (I think it'll honor that :)

You may not _need_ a window-manager, but IMO it is a good idea to have one. Netscape will pop up lots of extra windows, and without a window manager they will definitely be in the way. Imagein dealing with popup ads.
