Not necessarily. It could also be a genuine compatibility issue with
the IcedTea plug-in.
If the code really looks for specific magic strings in system
properties, we could tweak the JDK to support this. (Logitech's mouse
driver for DOS included a "Copyright Microsoft" string because some
DOS software used that string for detecting mouse support. 8-/)
