ok, i tried that and go this output:
No alternatives for /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/gcjwebplugin.so.

then i realized that the "alternative" must be a file in the /etc/alternatives dir. (which makes sense. ;) give me a break, i've never used update-alternatives before).

so i only found one java plugin in there, so then i tried:
sudo update-alternatives --set xulrunner-1.9-javaplugin.so javaplugin_oji
and got:
update-alternatives: Cannot find alternative `javaplugin_oji'.
(which i'm sure means i don't have that file (javaplugin_oji.so) on my system. an mlocate search didn't reveal one either).

so then i noticed that i had copied gcjwebplugin.so file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (where it wasn't being detected by fx). so then i thought, i'm 99% sure i tried this before but i'll try it again any way. i copied the file (gcjwebplugin.so) to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and voila! it now shows up in about:plugins.

but for some reason it still isn't showing up in konqueror's about:plugins. is there something that hasn't been implemented yet that makes it incompatible with konqueror?
