Java applets don't work properly in Konqueror

Hi there,

I just installed the Sun Jre/Jdk via "pacman -Rd openjdk6 && pacman -S jdk" which worked fine:

schorsch@archie:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode)
schorsch@archie:~$

In Firefox all Java Applets are working beautifully. However the same applets are not working properly in Konqueror. On some applets buttons are not displayed or icons are missing or the applet just doesn't react on user input. Some applets are not even loaded. Like said: All those applets work fine in Firefox.

When I go to this website for example:
http://www.ast-horb.ba-stuttgart.de/762.html

I get with Konqueror:

And with Firefox:

Where did all the icons go???!!!

What's wrong here? It's the same Jre, so why is it acting differently in the two browsers?
Here are two other random applets, that don't work properly with Konqueror but with Firefox they do:

(Buttons at the bottom are sometimes missing and moving cube doesn't work at all)

http://www.arndt-bruenner.de/mathe/java/plotter3d.htm
(Applet doesn't plot any functions when you click on the "plot" button)

These are only a few examples. It's really annoying. A statistics applet on my university education platform is not even loaded by Konqueror, but works fine in Firefox.
I haven't come across a single applet that works properly in Konqueror. I really wanna use Konqueror though. Please help.

I'm using KDE 4.2 with Konqueror 4.2.00

TIA,
