Hi:

This is not a bug - but it should warn that plugin installation may fail if
running in a user other than root for unix users.

It is frustrating to download the java plugin and have it fail because I am
running as my user name. Also the installation error doesn't indicate the reason
for the problem.

Installation via something like kdesu would resolve the issue.

Thanks - you guys are really close to having the best browser!!

Anthony
