I confirm this bug on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala using 3.5.4 and Sun Java
6.0 plugin.

It seems that this bug is here to stay. The sad thing is that I'm sure
the solution might be a couple of lines of code.

** Description changed:

  Any implementation of Java (be it Sun's or the OpenJDK) suffers from
  this bug. Some Java Applet Windows cannot be closed when clicking on the
  close button (X) on the Window Manager title bar.
  
  This bug only affects Linux distributions. On MS Windows, the Applets
  work normally and they can be closed at will as any other window.
  
  Sites where this bug happens:
  http://www.volano.com/
  http://www.chat-avenue.com/
  http://www.elchat.com
  ...and pretty much any Applets that do not have an explicit close function within themselves.
  
- OS: Ubuntu Hardy Heron
- Browser: Firefox 3.0.1
+ OS: Ubuntu Karmic Koala
+ Browser: Firefox 3.5.4
  Java: OpenJDK Java runtime
+ Sun Java 6.0 Plugin
