Status in “openjdk-6” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin

OpenJDK Java Web Start cannot open java-programs in web. A fine example is GeoGebra WebStart:
http://www.geogebra.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=70&Itemid=57

If I click "Geogebra WebStart", it only opens OpenJDK Java Web Start "Certificates" window. I think Firefox uses command "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javaws -viewer" to open this viewer - if i set Firefox to open geogebra.jnlp by command "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javaws" (just without '-viewer' -option, Geogebra loads and opens fine)

GeoGebra is only on example. I have same problem with other java-application too. 

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy

* firefox 3.0~b5+5nobinonly-0ubuntu2
* icedtea-gcjwebplugin 1.0-0ubuntu5
