Just an update re #25 and #32. The Telepathy PPA updates appear to be causing some strangeness for me (some GoogleTalk contacts were always shown as offline when they were online) so, since this is now fixed for the base LTS version, I suggest people revert back to this. I used ubuntu-tweak to

The correct fix depends on a full understanding of how jvisualvm actually works. The --jdkhome option appears to control only the JVM that VisualVM runs in, not the JVM which it monitors for Java instances. I can run the Sun VisualVM with the Sun JVM as jdkhome, and still see/monitor Java
