To reproduce. Get latest build of Java Web Start from:

 /usr/local/java/javaws1.0.1/

and configure it to use JRE 1.4 (using the control panel). Easiest way
is to change the directory path for 1.3 to point to the 1.4 JRE. Then
launch the draw demo on the http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/
Web site
