Annoying authentication window using IcedTea with Tor

[flo.xfce at gmx-topmail.de]

The basis for my assumption is: Only Java applets yield this message. I
can browse without getting bothered by "Authentication request" if I
don't use any applet. Secondly, the window has the appearence I
specifically selected for IcedTea. Third: It happens with ALL Java
Applets. So it would be a heavy coincidence if all of them are coded
"wrong".
I read in some commit message that this authentication feature was
specifically added to IcedTea. So maybe there is also an option to
disable authentication completly?
I also tried different proxies, only happens with Socks (v4 and v5).
Kind regards
