Angel, I've been in contact with the Java designers and have been using
1.6.0_10-rc successfully in Firefox 3 and MSIE for about a month now.
The flashing popups:
In the previous beta version of Java 1.6 they had disabled popups entirely
due to security issues. (There was a way to create an entire screen covered
with carefully generated mosaic popups that could fake a secure site.)
The flashing border is the compromise solution to allow popups. We should be
pleased with that solution.
I see the painting issue only with the yellow border, not the rest of the
menu.

You can also just use:
jmolInitialize("./", "JmolApplet.jar")
jmolSetCallback("draggable", "true")
jmolApplet(400)
I keep thinking we should implement jmolSetCallback also as
"jmolSetParameter" but I'm worried that that sounds too much like
"jmolGetProperty"
