The window that asks for your login is not an applet, it is simply an HTML
page in a browser window that has been opened using Javascript.  The
javascript has told the window not to display controls and to remove the
ability to resize.

Paste the following javascript link into your browsers address bar and then
tell me that the entire PLUG website is an applet (this should all be on a
single line):

javascript:window.open("http://plug.linux.org.au", "PLUG",
"toolbar=0,status=1,location=no,menubar=no,directories=no,scrollbars=yes,res
izable=no,screenX=0,screenY=0,left=180,top=185,width=300,height=200");

Others are wrong, in this case.
