This also affects sun-java-plugin when starting JNLP applications

Try any JNLP application

I'm not sure about Sun Java, but I know that /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/javaws provided by package openjdk-6-jre is prevented from working properly because of LD_LIBRARY_PATH being set, and furthermore the symptoms are confusing to users. The Java application I support starts up and then crashes on certain operations, so my users are simply telling me "your software is broken". The whole point of javaws is to be started via a browser, so until this is fixed I'd say that javaws is rendered worse than useless (for me at least).

Cheers,
