The javaws in javaws-1_2_0_06-linux-i586-i.zip does work under FC3.  

I'm curious as to what was changed to fix this problem and when the
packages from Sun will have a fix.

As I said in my last message the 1.5 version does not contain a fix and
actually appears to break more things (mozilla plugin does not work).

But if anyone else is having this problem there is a work around.
