I cleared the old Java out and reinstalled from Hoary-extras.  Now for
some reason the "Test Java applet" on java.com doesn't work, I don't
know about other applets.  Azureus and FreeMind work fine but the menus
are still screwed in FreeMind.  I changed the look&feel in the FreeMind
config file and while it now doesn't look as nice as the gtk theme at
least the menus work.  Why are they screwed up?  I don't know, it's a
mystery.
