[Bug 290707] [NEW] konqueror: LiveConnect/JavaScript not working (IcedTeaPlugin not recognized)

[Matthias Klose]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

konqueror does have it's very own idea about applet support, but doesn't
allow this support be replaced with support which comes with other
plugins like IcedTeaPlugin.

There's more than one issue:

 - /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins isn't searched for plugins. AFAIK this is the standard path for xulrunner-1.9
   compatible plugins (there are other paths like /opt/foo* which are searched for plugins, and probably should
  be removed.

 - Now with /usr/lib/xulrunner-addons/plugins added, LiveConnect still doesn't work. As an example visit
   http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/java/ColorBlockApplet.html and you should be able to change the colors
   and get the alert box by clicking the applet area (install firefox and openjdk-6-jre for a working example).

As a workaround just use firefox for applets requiring LiveConnect
support.

Confirmed by Riddell on irc.
