Huh. I had to Google VirtualBox to understand what
you were referring to.

Thanks for throwing a browser at the problem.

Just as an update, summarising conclusions from the
Sun thread.
- On windows the splash worked reliably.
- The splash showed in the single Solaris test.
- We had one success on the Mac. (John's first reply)
as well as one outright failure from another user.
- No Ubuntu Linux box showed the splash.

I later found a bug report that suggested that, at
one time, if an app. had both D-n-D and splash, it
would freeze Ubuntu. I suspect Sun just completely
dropped splash support in Ubuntu to shut people up,
though there was no specific comment on the bug
report to that effect.

I don't think 'the world will fall apart' if Ubuntu
users see no splash. Ubuntu users tend to be people
less impressed by such (trivial) decorations, in any
case.

Um, I completely misinterpreted the result of the first experiment. I
saw the gloaming (stromlo2.jpg) that I recognized from your website and
thought it worked; I was just seeing the application display the image.
I overlooked the absence of the splash. Aiming the .jnlp at another
picture (stromlo1.jpg) allowed me to see the empty, gray splash frame.

Call me Igor. :-)
