Holger,

  I think the problem is that Potato's libc versions are too old to
  support the post 1.2 JVM's at all (let alone under Java Web Start).

  For what it's worth, I'm running Java Web Start on testing.

  p.s. Sun has been pretty responsive to my bug reports. JaWS 1.0.1.01
  includes fixes to all but one (loading JavaHelp resources) of my
  reports.
