OK, I've removed java (as far as I know how), and I've reinstalled from
RPM.
rpm -U java-1_5_0-sun.rpm
rpm -U java-1_5_0-sun-plugin.rpm
These were downloaded from the following site:
http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/
Then I ran SuSEconfig just to be sure.
Still the same problem. The plugin shows it loads from about:plugins, but
the "Applet notinited" messages appear and the red "X" shows in the
corner.
Is it possible that the java version I just installed is still wrong for
the system I'm running? Below is some output of the version info of
firefox and java respectully.
snc19385:~/javainst # file /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java

80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses
shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped
snc19385:~/javainst # find / -name firefox-bin
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin
snc19385:~/javainst # file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin

Again, thank you for helping such a lost soul.
