Is there any chance the problems with using the Sun Java plugin with Fedora Core 4 or 5 will be resolved soon? I have been unable to use the java plugin as installed by either the jpackage nosrc rpms or manually installing the binary installer for linux on either FC4 or FC5. This is across about 7 machines I have installed here. In all cases I end up with a red X when I attempt to load the java applet at the testvm web page...

This problem is really getting old and makes MacOS X look like a better choice for a workstation. Jack ps I can't believe this problem doesn't get more discussion here as it is a major regression. FYI, I tried the latest b87 release of Java 1.6 and it doesn't work any better.
