This is not quite right. Just go to another page which does not contain an 
applet. The applet server will shut down after a timeout which is configured 
in konqis java settings. The default is 60 seconds. For testing purposes and 
on a not too slow machine, even 0 seconds is a reasonable value. Then, the 
jvm is restarted on loading each page containing applets.
I admit however that this is not a solution. Have to find out where this 
freeze comes from, why the whole jvm freezes and not only the applet thread.

why busted? khtml tells the applet server which size the applet shall have. 
The applet server then opens a frame (which is embedded) in exactly this 
size. The applet is resized to this size when it comes to life.

The problem is width="100%" height="100%". The renderer should know the _real_ 
size and set the size of the embedding widget accordingly. The problem with 
shellinabox is that it sometimes works and often not.

OTOH, I think that there is also soemthing wrong with the shellinabox applet.
