Summary: New Java viewer does not start when loaded from Xvnc

Initial Comment:
The new Java viewer in trunk aborts with:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied 
(java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write)

when served from Xvnc's embedded HTTP server running on a Linux host.  This may 
have always been the case, as previously, I've only tested the Java viewer by 
invoking it in standalone mode.

Message:
Urrr, but wait a second...  Accessing the clipboard from the applet is kind
of crucial.  TurboVNC can do that as long as the applet is signed.  Would
signing the applet fix that for TigerVNC as well?

Message:
Patch committed in r4693 that should fix this.  Need to verify that this
patch does not disable access to the clipboard for applets launched via
Java WebStart (regular applets, even signed ones, cannot access the
clipboard but JWS applets can.)

Message:
I think that this is because by default applets cannot access the
filesystem and the new viewer wants to load a preferences file.  I only
ever use it standalone, so I hadn't noticed this.  Should be a pretty easy
fix, I'll take a look today.
