Yes, you must add --enable-plugin to the GCC configure line. Then to 
install it you must create a link from 
~/.mozilla/plugins/libgcjwebplugin.so to 
$prefix/lib*/gcj-4.2.0/libgcjwebplugin.so.
 Any special applets you think are

No, just try a sampling of applets at
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/Applets
Note that certain applets such as oneslime.net regressed slightly 
because of the new Java2D work. I'm more concerned that the 
appletviewer and plugin still work, and that they're installed in the 
right places:
gappletviewer should be installed in $prefix/bin
libgcjwebplugin.so should be installed in $prefix/lib*/gcj-4.2.0
Are they build by default? I only used

The patch doesn't apply to GCC trunk because of the new gconf-peer 
directory. Specifically, the 
classpath/native/jni/gconf-peer/Makefile.in fragment fails to apply, 
since the classpath/native/jni/gconf-peer directory doesn't exist on 
trunk yet.

I'll look over the gconf dependency configury.
