Bug description:
If I use icedtea6-plugin (openjdk browser plugin) to execute java applets, the first time (after installing it) I load an applet, it asks for the temp directory (default is /tmp), with 2 buttons : OK and cancel.

This question should be removed :
- 99% people don't care about what is the temp directory
- 99% of those who care will choose /tmp

Moreover, there is a problem if you click on cancel : no temp dir is selected.
Firefox takes 100%cpu and no applet can be executed until a kill -9 / restart of firefox, then choosing a temp dir and click on OK.
