Hi Giovanni,

Thanks for your feedback. It's interesting to know that, on your side, the IcedTea plugin is able to display the applets I mentioned.
On our side, all attempts to display those applets with Icedtea failed during the past years with several versions of Ubuntu (at least 10.04, 11.04 and 11.10). Same problem with Kubuntu 11.10 and 32/64 bits. The only solution was always to remove Icedtea and install Sun/Oracle Java. 
I just tested booting on an Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits CD, installing IcedTea (apt-get install icedtea-plugin; this installs version 1.1.3-1ubuntu1), starting Firefox and loading the page mentioned in my original post: no applet is working. I only get a white box displayed with the text "Geogebra Dynamic Mathematics for Everyone" in the middle and the mention "Applet started" in the browser's status bar, but the applet never displays.
After installing Sun/Oracle Java plugin (version 1.6.0_26), removing Icedtea plugin and restarting Firefox, all applets run perfectly. So I can't understand why those applets aren't running with Icedtea on my side...
