About this web start .... yes the sun example works on my MacBook Pro   
and Windows but not on Linux (latest Ubuntu Hardy).
Here's what I had to do to get the example to work on Linux.

1.
As root go to my /opt/sunjava6_u3/jdk1.6.0+03/jre/lib/i386/xawt (which  
is just where I installed java) and issue
sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' libmawt.so
Reasons for this I somewhat but do not fully understand.

2.
Install libstdc++.so.5 .... apparently the 5 is important.
