Life In 19x19

Summary time. For some people, Java 1.7.0 browser plugin makes the applet hang, and for some it does not. At least for me, the problem is specific to version 1.7.0, and does not appear with the earlier version of Java that I tried (as I wrote in the previous message).

Thank you. I could open several windows at the same time and close them without any issues.

EDIT: I should also add that the latest 1.6 JRE does not show this behavior. With the plugin from 1.6.0_27 in use, I could close board windows and player infos without any problems.
