After numerous test runs, I have determined the following (at least of
this system install of 4.0.1 with all YDL yum updates).
Changed File: /profile.d/java.sh to reflect
PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-1xx/jre/bin
(Yellowdog HOWTO did not have "jre" in front of "bin".)
No processor type line, since machine is PPC750.
GNOME environment (logged in as user)
Applets load in a separate window.
1.3.1 sound ok, video ok, dragable window
1.4.1 sound ok, video ok, modal window
1.4.2 sound ok, video ok, modal window
KDE Environment (logged in as user)
Java execution is displayed in the Java Console, but no window is opened up.
1.3.1 sound ok, video none
1.4.1 sound ok, video none
1.4.2 sound no, video none
It appears that the current Java support, through ydl 4.0.1, is
requiring a new and separate window be opened for the applet to run
within. This is external to the Konqueror browser. This is operating
via GNOME, however JRE 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 have modal windows "attached" to
the upper left corner of the screen. KDE is not allowing these windows
to open. I tried a default root user log-in, with KDE, and the result
was the same. If anyone has any suggestions for modifying KDE in some
way which will allow these windows to open, I'd greatly appreciate any
input! Thanks!!

Would you think that these changes are necessary, given that I have
not experienced any other audio related issues in KDE. In fact, when
I first did the 4.0.1 ISO install, audio did not work properly. A day
or two later I did an rpm update KDE* and a number of KDE related
items were updated (approx 6). After this, all sound worked fine.
The only sound issues are accompanied by the lack of Java applet
execution while in Konqueror or via the Terminal. I'd hate to mess
things further. Interestingly, I noticed that the Konqueror settings
menu has an option to "Enable Java Globally" and has a path to the
Java executable. Believing that this may be in conflict with the
/etc/profile.d/java.sh file along with the
PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBMJava2-ppc-142/bin, I deleted java.sh. I received
the same applet progress in the Konqueror Java Console as when the
PATH was specified in the java.sh file. However, if I put the java.sh
path back in place and deselected the "Enable Java Globally" option,
Java execution is completely disabled within Konqueror. Is it
possible that there are permissions problems with the Java JRE and or
the PATH setting in the etc/ directory? Something must be our of
order here. Thanks for your continued help with this.
