Java Web start crashes when Jayatana is used

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Run javaws anyfile.jnlp, here's the crash I'm getting:

Cool, that fixes the crash!

However, if you try to launch the attached jnlp, the menus are not exported 
(probably it's not something you can), but the crash bug is indeed fixed!

Is posible integrate JAyatana for jnlp applications, but it's a security hole. 
But if you still want to try, you need edit the file: 
/etc/icedtea-web/javaws.policy and add this lines

grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/java/jayatana.jar" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

grant codeBase "file:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar" {
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

grant {
    permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";
};

The problem is the permission:

java.lang.RuntimePermission "shutdownHooks";

JAyatana uses it to close GMainLoop when closing the application. But a 
malicious software can generate new executions when attempting to close the 
application.

Oh, cool... It would be nice if you might somewhat add a new policy file to 
integrate that with this :)
