Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin

With icedtea-gcjwebplugin installed (the default for Hardy), accessing
the Facebook image upload page presents me with a grey box rather than
the image upload applet.  The status bar says that the applet failed to
initialize.

If I uninstall icedtea-gcjwebplugin (I also uninstalled gcj completely)
and install sun-java6-plugin then all is well and I can access the image
uploader just fine.

I was using icedtea 1.0-0ubuntu6.

Steps to reproduce:
(1) Install hardy with the above package.
(2) Browse to the Facebook image upload page
(3) 100% of time, Applet doesn't load.
