I've never tried using a virtual machine (chroot??) to test things (though certainly should have, to be a True Debian-ite ;).

The demo works with the buttons on the page, but RMB-ing on the applet screen itself fails to call up Jmol's menus. No clue as to the difference between yours and my installation. I went through all of the java alternatives and updated them to Sun's version instead of the openjdk version, but that made no difference. I don't know why openjdk is chosen for me when I deliberately install Sun. :-/ Thanks for your input! Kenward -- "Man does not cease to play because he grows old...
