Heavyweight popups cause SecurityExceptions in applets

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

Bug description:
When a sandboxed applet opens a popup menu, a security exception is thrown for the "setAlwaysonTop" call in the HeavyWeightWindow inner-class of javax.swing.Popup.

This bug was fixed by Sun since 6u10 (see http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6675802) with a try/catch block ignoring the securityexception but is stil present in the openjdk on Ubuntu 10.04, preventing the popup menu to show.
