Bug Description

When trying to run a Java application which downloads other Java packages and runs them at startup, you are shown a dialog titled "Security Approval Required" which shows you the name of that application, its publisher, and an option called 'Always trust content from this publisher'.

You would expect that by checking that option, you won't be asked again about other applications from the same publisher. That is not true; you keep getting asked for all components by the same publisher, which is very annoying.
