I didn't mention, installing later versions of java fix the problem. These resolve the problem: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-20.b14.fc11.x86_64 java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-20.b14.fc11.x86_64
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
So. it's already fixed by the latest Java package, right?
