I have /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so,
so that does not appear to be the issue. Is there code in the galeon or
mozilla source to make it look in
/usr/local/jdk1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610 for the plugin? That seems an
odd and ever changing location.

The latest Galeon (1.3.13) does nor seem to load it. No errors at
all. Just no plugins. I have the feeling that I'm doing something really
DUMB, but I can't seem to get a clue as to what.
