You've probably figured this out by now, but it seems to me you're passing the
java.security.manager option incorrectly.  Might want to have a look at:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/javaws.html

It's the documentation for Sun's proprietary java but openJDK should conform. 
Accordingly you need to pass "-J<option>" instead of "-D<option>"

As far as I can tell javaws from openjdk/icedtea is ignoring invalid parameters
passed.  For example, I can pass "-Djava.security.manager=notavalidfilename"
literally and it happily proceeds as if the parameter is not there (but if I
try to specify the same with the more correct "-J<option>" syntax it naturally
complains).

If you've got other information that indicates an icedtea bug, please respond
(else I'll go ahead and close this bug in a week).
