Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: icedtea-gcjwebplugin

Under sun-java6-plugin, signed applets ask for authentication and can
then store data on your HD.  In Intrepid, the icedtea-gcjwebplugin could
do this too but under jaunty it just refuses and signed applets.  An
example applet that does not work can be found at www.runescape.com.

Using Jaunty ubuntu with firefox version 3.0.10+nobinonly-
0ubuntu0.9.04.1 and icedtea-gcjwebplugin version 1.0-1ubuntu4
(icedtea6-plugin version 6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu7)
