      Java Web Start application re-launched from shortcut icon on a Windows
       dektop does not load updated jar files.
       Java Web Start application is installed on a Windows desktop by a shortcut
       icon. When the application deployed on the server-side was updated meanwhile,
       updated jar files are not loaded on the client-side, if the application is
       re-launched from shortcut icon.
       As a consequence the application may break, because other files may get
       loaded after the update, resulting in an inconsistent state.
       The application needs to be restarted from the browser or shell window,
       in order to fully load the update and correct the inconsistent situation.
       The behavior is strictly reproducible.
       The behavior is reproducible only, if the path to the Java Deployment cache
       contains 'white space' characters. This is the case for Windows XP and
       earlier Windows operating systems, where the Java Deployment Cache is in
       'C:\Documents and Settings\...'.
