Well, it sure looks like a symlink:

pedicular~;ls -lai /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins/

pedicular~

My main problem is that nothing appear to be wrong.  If you go to
Mozilla's "about plugins" page, Java is listed.  no error messages
show up in either a terminal window or the console.  But Java apps
simply do not appear.  :-(

Any suggestions?
