In all cases I am using Java 6 Update 18.

If you are running 64 bit Linux, you will need to install both 32- bit
and 64-bit Java. JNLP uses 32-bit, to match the power of the browser.

Umm, I'm running 64-bit Java 6u18, Ubuntu and browsers, and Java Web Star=

applets launched via JNLP.

Huhh.. When I changed over to Ubuntu Linux, I
specifically chose the 32 bit JRE on the understanding
that 64 bit did not support applets & JWS!

And as an aside, I have never been able to coax
the FF/32 bit JRE combo. that I have, into recognising
*any* damn embedded JNLP based applet.

I think it's time to uninstall every gosh-darn
JRE that I have (including, by mistake, a download
of the Open JDK) and try the 64 bit version.

Thanks for the heads up. :-)
