I'm using Debian, but I had the same issues with Redhat Linux. I'm using Firefox as a web browser, and I have the java stuff installed. Applets seem to run fine, but for example, I use real-time streaming stock quotes. Most of it seems ok, but whenever there is a drop-down box, all of the text is blank, absolutely nothing there. Sometimes buttons are blank until I mouse-over them for the first time. Is this just a general problem with java applets in Linux or is there something that can actually be done to fix it?

old post... no responses... I think it deserves a bump, lol.
