Comment 2 for bug 290707

The first issue is no issue because Konqueror accesses java through KJAS, which runs the JVM directly. I don't know why it does do that, but I suppose there is a sensible reason.

The 2nd one is partly an issue indeed (or actually mostly). LiveConnect only seems to be working when Java uses KIO, in fact only when it does so. I suppose that only if it is using KIO, Konqueror can actually connect JavaScript and the applet.
The actually problems appears when tryign to trigger a second color change: the JavaScript will not be able to be execute. An inspection of the JavaScript debugger indicates that document.ColorBlockApplet.setColor is once more not available.

So we need to find out why KDE doesn't default to KIO, make Kubuntu use KIO if there is no good reason to not do that and fix the bug of not being able to access the applet more than once.

On a side note: doAlert doesn't get called, might be a limitation of the implimentation though.
