This is how I did it.

Move netscape in /usr/X11R6/bin

Move KeysymDB in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

Move the nls dir in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11

If using sh, ksh, or bash shell add to .profile
XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH XKEYSYMDB

If using csh add to .cshrc
setenv XNLSPATH '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls'
setenv XKEYSYMDB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB'

(I hope the csh syntax is right I try to avoid that shell)

Then everything should work fine.
