I have no clue why this happens (it doesn't for me). What Netscape version
do you have? Can you try adding these lines at the end of your config file:

  DestroyFunc UrgencyFunc
  AddToFunc UrgencyFunc I Beep

Does this help? (I don't think so).

To avoid page flipping when you open the window you could try to
de-iconify first and then warp to the window:

  + I iconify off
  + I warptowindow 50 50

(or so).

Bye
