It's not a bug, it's a feature.
The squeakland launcher mechanism "knows" in which browsers the browser 
api works in which ones it doesn't. It then sets the parameter 
apiSupported to true or false. (view source reveals the "magic")

That makes the browser plugin work for everybody except those using a 
browser with defunct api (like Opera) AND behind a proxy.

So basically for now we could update the *ix plugin packages with the 
new image and the newest VM and make most people happy :-)
