java not working in galeon

[andy <dovienya@diatribes.org>]

hello all - 

i'm having an issue with galeon and java.  i currently have galeon
version 1.2.7-5 from people.fsn.hu/~pasztor/debian and j2re1.3
1.3.1.02b-2 from blackdown (although the problem has existed for a while
now).  java works in mozilla, but when i visit the same page in galeon,
it fails.  when i start galeon and when i try to access a page with java
i get the following error:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library
/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
[/usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: undefined
symbol: XtShellStrings]

i'm kinda fuzzy on the whole library business, but grepping for
XtShellStrings in /usr/X11R6/lib (which is in my ld.so.conf) is matched
by libXt.so.6 (which is linked to in /usr/lib/mozilla).  i tried setting
my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/lib/mozilla (since catting
/proc/mozilla_pid/environ showed that), but no go.  although i figured
that this wasn't the problem (since it seems to find it), i also tried
the galeon faq idea of linking to the plugin from my ~/.mozilla/plugins
directory.  this just got me two copies of the error message :)  the
plugin is showed in about:plugins...   i think that's about all the
information i have.

i've searched usenet and the web, and most suggestions have involved
upgrading to the j2re version i am already running.  some posts with
similar problems had the mozilla people pointing their fingers at the
java people, and the java people pointing right back; but it works for
me in mozilla, so i'm at a loss.   i am seeing this on 2 x86 boxes, both
running testing (although i believe i had the problem in woody, as well).

if anyone has suggestions, please toss me an email...

tia!
