Bug Description
Any applet running under icedtea-plugin in Firefox will not be able to receive any input from the keyboard. It will respond to mouse clicks, but even after clicking inside the applet to set focus, keypresses simply do not reach the applet.

....and then after a reboot, it worked. I'll come back with an update if it gives me more problems.
There are some keyboard focus issues (in particular, Tab doesn't go to the right place in the VNC applet I was using)... when I get the chance I'll do some digging and figure out what's really going on.
