Because as far as I can tell the Sun plugin will not work without it. 
 I don't know what other things require it but I always have to 
install it to get the Sun plugin to work.  I was just curious if you 
had it installed.

It is possible to have both iced-tea and Sun's java installed and 
functioning correctly.  I use the JPackage utilities to do the setup 
for alternatives.  It makes it very easy to switch Javas.

I am very curious about the Xinerama bug.  That is fixed?

I did a web page that describes how to configure F8 for both Javas.
