kgs appears to be a Java applet. To run it install icedtea-7-plugin.
That will pull in openjdk-7-jre. You will need to restart your browser.

Be careful when running Java applets. It's a good idea to set them to
'click to play' in firefox (assuming you use firefox).

You can uninstall openjdk-6-jre, unless you need it for specific legacy
applications. It's very old now.
