I ran some tests on:  http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
-Sun Java does not load
-OpenJDK hangs on loading the applet.

I can confirm that /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java does
not work for me in Konqueror (KDE 4.4). It used to work in 4.3.

Is that on the test page or another page?

Actually it's the New York Times Acrostic for today, which is
practically the only Java page I ever visit. However when I try the
above test page Java starts to load but then sits there saying "Loading
Applet", apparently forever (i.e. more than 10 minutes).

Thanks for the additional info.  I ran some more tests from
http://www.nytimes.com/premiumproducts/crosswords/samples/Jan2801.2.html

1)  Applet comes up in KHTML with openjdk
2)  A white box is displayed with WebkitKDE and openJDK
3)  Applet comes up in KHTML with Sun Java
4)  A white box is displayed with WebkitKDE and Sun Java.

The white box issue occurs with Chromium as well so I am beginning to
think there is a missing optional Webkit component (especially since I
cannot reproduce the bug with chromium in Arch or Ubuntu).

For some reason the NYT Acrostic page now works! I stress that I haven't
done anything to the system. The Java test page still sits at "Loading
Applet".
