There is no difference here, whatever charset I use. And it would even wonder 
me if it had any effect on the applet since the applet server runs in a 
different application than konqueror and there is no means to change the 
encoding except by changing the environment before starting the applet 
server.

But I see two other problems:
- I cannot type any hebrew characters into the applet textfield
- foccussing is again messed up with jre 1.4.1
