Java in Konqueror
 

Whenever I install sun's java rpm, and try to set up konqueror to use it, the applets never load. I just see a gray box that says "applet loading" and nothing happens.

Is there something special you have to do with konqueror to get the java working properly besides enabling in the control panel and setting the location of the executable?

Usually no, but check if you have kaffe installed, if you do - remove it and reinstall java.
