This has already been solved by adding "cautious-launcher" to .desktop
files that have MimeType and Exec lines, in line with the Ubuntu
Executable Bit Policy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Policies
#Execute-Permission%20Bit%20Required
$ egrep '^(Exec|MimeType)=' usr/share/applications/sun-java6-java.desktop
Exec=cautious-launcher %f /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.24/bin/java -jar
MimeType=application/x-java-archive;application/java-archive;application/x-jar;
$ egrep '^(Exec|MimeType)=' usr/share/applications/openjdk-6-java.desktop
Exec=cautious-launcher %f /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/java -jar
MimeType=application/x-java-archive;application/java-archive;application/x-jar;
** Changed in: sun-java6 (Ubuntu)
