Many people here in Norway (who run Hardy Alpha6) cannot login to their internet bank or do any other internet transactions because the Firefox's Java-plugin does not work. The security and login system is called BankID applet and it requires Sun's Java5/6 (or possibly later) plugin and JavaVM. Unfortunately the BankID does not work with the IcedTea java-7.
Of course, the following (xcb related) workaround does work and BankID applet with Suns JavaVM is happy, but most end users will not understand these commands
$ export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
$ firefox
So this bug is rather severe.
When will Sun Microsystems release Java7? Will it get into the Hardy before due date.
Am happy to help what ever you ask ;-)
