Re: Sun Java upgrade to 1.6.0_23 ?
I still run into the menu issues with 1.6.0_23, it seems. I'm assuming
what I describe below worked effectively.

Well, tried this but was Very unsure about using update-alternatives, so
I figured out the structure of Debian's install and replaced the 22
version with 23. I did this by
* moving the entire jre_23 installed directory (not the correct name)
into the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22 directory,
* renaming the original /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre directory
to something new,
* renaming the jre_23 subdirectory
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/jre
I think this effectively sidestepped things. 'java -version' now
reports java version "1.6.0_23"

Haven't done this yet. Did install virtualbox, but my time is minimal
right now, so haven't tried to learn its usage yet.

The local version works fine. The applet version is the point where the
menu issues appear.
You are saying that you have no problems on that web page using the menu
called up by a RMB on the screen?

This is the process I went through, and all java links are now sun's.
