This applet should work with kjava I'm told, I've passed the bug
upstream for examination.

I'm told that icedtea6-plugin does not work with Konqueror (or with
qtwebkit) because it is not full NPAPI.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: konqueror

konqueror does have it's very own idea about applet support, but doesn't allow this support be replaced with support which comes with other plugins like IcedTeaPlugin.

There's more than one issue:

 - /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins isn't searched for plugins. AFAIK this is the standard path for xulrunner-1.9
   compatible plugins (there are other paths like /opt/foo* which are searched for plugins, and probably should
  be removed.

 - Now with /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins added, LiveConnect still doesn't work. As an example visit
   http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/ColorBlockApplet.html and you should be able to change the colors
   and get the alert box by clicking the applet area (install firefox and openjdk-6-jre for a working example).

As a workaround just use firefox for applets requiring LiveConnect support.

Confirmed by Riddell on irc.
