Thank you to all three of you.  I finally manged to install icedtea-plugin 
from Sid, but now things are even worse!  Before, I got a box with a message 
that I needed to install java.  Now I just have a box-shaped light grey area 
with nothing else visible. :-(

Any clues?  I am beginning to think that I may have to install another distro 
just for this. :-(

But I'll try Squeeze first. 

Sorry - I have not got you any further forward, Gilbert.

Thanks again,
