Problem : The Java Console fails to work for Linux RedHat 6.2 with 1.3.1_20

To Reproduce:

1. Login at the command line and set the LANG/ LC_ALL variables to de_DE

2. startx -Linux should come up with all apps in German

3. Point to the right version of JDK which includes "pluing" jdk131.
   ie: setenv PATH /usr/j2sdk1_3_1/bin:$PATH
   
4. setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH /usr/2sdk1_3_1/jre/plugin/i386
  
5. run the gui "ControlPanel", make sure the option "Show Java Console" is
checked.

6. run "netscape & " from the terminal where the paths are set.

7. Enter "file:/usr/j2se/jre/ControlPanel.html" in the browser path

6. the "Java Console" does not show u but a localised popup from Netscape saying a plugin is needed.
