I think the path to java executable is the problem. I just tried it on a
new F12 vm with all the latest updates and it works for me. I used this
for path to executable:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64/jre/bin/java

Konqueror does not use the IcedTea plugin, as it does not support the
necessary APIs. AFAIK, konqueror can only use its own Java plugin
(/usr/lib/kde4/kjavaappletviewer.so)
