I am ok with a full screen display.

It is much worse than that for the two apps that I tried. In the
WebStart app, there was a giant gray window containing only the "Java

I would have been happy to at least see them, but they didn't show.

Any hints what one can do to work on a fix?

PS. The other way to run Java would presumably be as an applet, but I
cannot get the plugin to work either (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/865).
Did this work for anyone? I presume it must have at one time--see
