 I installed Java on the laptop, wishing to run Java Applets but it didn't
 work.

 The procedure to install Java was:
  * Download Java JRE (JSE6)
  * Install it
  * Make a symbolic link: ''ln -s
 /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
 /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.0.4/plugins/''

 The output error is:
 {{{
 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: cannot
 open shared object file: No such file or directory]
 LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.so [libXext.so:
 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

 /usr/java/jre1.6.0/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so

 symbol: _ZTVN10__cxxabiv121__vmi_class_type_infoE]
 }}}

 Although Java probably will be not shipped by default, I think it is
 important that the browser supports it.

 I used a Q2B43 / 239 build laptop.

 ps: To get the output I opened the developer's console and executed the
 following command:
 {{{
 sugar-activity-factory webactivity.WebActivity
 /usr/share/activities/Web.activity
 }}}
