Same problem on AMD 32 / i686, see bug #202883. The default permissions
must be different between Sun Java and Icedtea/gcj.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin

My homebanking system needs access to a key file in my home directory. When trying to do so, Java's security bits rejects it without asking me about it. To make it work, I need to manually add stuff to java.policy (and since I have no clue how to do it correctly, I just temporarily put AllPermission into the default and removed it when I'm done doing my homebanking thing).

Obviously, what should happen is that I should get the friendly dialog box asking if I trust the software vendor and if I'm cool with the applet accessing my home directory.

This is on amd64, by the way.
