Well, I tried. On my 2nd reply I said this:

"All JNLP links behave the same. Try this one for example:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorialJWS/uiswing/learn/ex6/CelsiusConverter.jnlp


Remember: it works on Firefox, so you should really try with Chrome (and
Nautilus, once you've saved the JNLP file locally)."

This, combined with the explanation above, and the description on the
original post (note that I am the one who posted comment #34 on Chromium
issue), pretty much sums it all AFAICT. Let me know what additional info you
need and I'll be happy to provide.

Regards,

Andre
