Webstart works for me on Ubuntu Intrepid. But I had problems with both old applications like Matlab as well as Netbeans. The route I took was to downgrade to libx11-6 1.1.1.1 (Gutsy, I think).

This apparently doesn't work if you have a Hardy or Intrepid X11... at least it didn't work for me. Or, perhaps it does and I just didn't do it right. I kept getting problems with libxcb. -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-222-9095, http://tempusdictum.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
