Netscape 4.x knows perfectly well what a mouse wheel is... add this to .Xresources:

The wheel support can be implemented directly in applications. KDE has built-in wheel support, so the only required thing is the line "ZAxisMapping 4 5" in XF86Config. The same is true for Gnome apps or Staroffice, for example. Imwheel is therefore needed only for apps without built-in wheel support. Netscape 4.X doesn't have wheel support, whereas Mozilla or Netscape 6 have. So two solutions : 1) launch imwheel in .xsession, not .xinitrc with a line like "exec /usr/bin/X11/imwheel &". If gdm is Debian-compliant, it should use .xsession. 2) abandon imwheel, as most modern apps have built-in wheel support. Konqueror and Mozilla are very good now, even for Java, PHP or plugins.
