OK....

This works fine in one of my environments.  I get the login applet.

gcjwebplugin.so does not work as hoped.  This is the open source environment.

I think what needs to be understood is that, at least for me, the Sun 
supplied java pieces work just fine with the URLs that you have listed.

The open-java stuff does not work.

As far as I can tell you have both the open-java as well as the Sun java 
environments installed.  It isn't clear to me what environment is being 
picked up by your browser.
