Maybe, IcedTea is improving...Are you using release 7? I cannot get many Java applets (not just Jmol) to launch under the present "stable" release (6.x). I have resorted to installing Oracle/Sun Java on my Linux machines.
I agree that I have had better luck with the applications under IceTea. At least one of my test servers uses IcedTea and the static images generated using the headless Java application does work on that server. I have just not had much luck with applets embedded in browsers. The other way to read your message is that you never get the applet to launch in the browsers. Is that the case? If so, that is my experience. See http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html for what looks like an easy way to install the Oracle Java under Ubuntu.
