Environment:
NVidia 7600 GS 256.35 (hand-compiled)
Fedora 13 (32 bit)
KDE 4.4.5
Java 1.6.0_21 (appropriate links)
Firefox 3.6.7 (works)
Google Chrome 5.0.375.99 (works)
Konqueror (fails)
By works I mean I got to the login screen. I didn't try to actually
access the application since I didn't feel like playing Go at 10:40 PM on
a Friday night.
I think that's because Konqueror is using kjavaappletviewer.so for
viewing applets.
I wonder if I can convince it to use a Sun-based plugin . . . .
