      [CDATA[
      When starting a webstart application on a system behind a proxy with authentification, a pop-up dialog comes up asking for login and password.
      This pop-up is *very* annoying for the following reasons:
       - sometimes (not always) is is hidden behind the "Checking last version" window, and cannot be seen
       - the user name field doesn't have the focus: it must be clicked upon to be used
       - it is not possible to switch fields using <tab> as usual, only the mouse can be used
       - it is not possible to validate using <enter>, the 'Yes' button must be clicked using the mouse cursor

      Note:
      this is with the JDK 1.5 FCS, no the EA version included in b69. I upgraded it cleanly (removed old packages, cleaned up some dangling directories, installed new packages).

      $ java -version
      java version "1.5.0"
      Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-b64)
      Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-b64, mixed mode, sharing)
