Something needs to be done for seamonkey and the java-1_6_0-openjdk.

After fighting this for weeks and tracking it down a week or so ago.  I decided to bug report it.  Today while searching the internet, I found others are having this problem as well.  Here is one link

Current Seamonkey uses a same Gecko as Firefox 2, which is also incompatible with both - new openjdk and Sun plugin, so on x86_64 there's no working combination of Seamoneky and Java plugin.

There's a workaround [1] how to run a 32bit browser and Sun Java. The upcoming Seamonkey 2.0 seems to work better [2]
