My system never had icedtea-7 installed and it runs the thing fine (I assume "the Jigzone applet" means any of the jigsaw puzzles on that site...?). But testing which java version is being executed for applets it appears that the java alternative is ignored. I have java-1.5.0-sun, java-6-sun and java-6-openjdk installed along with firefox 3.0b5. No matter what the setting of the current java alternative using the test applet at http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml?ff3 it shows that the 6u6 plugin is being used.
