Subject: Broken key in applet dialog windows using Netscape 3.x and SSL

Good morning,

I am using the 1.0.2 java-compiler, SSLeay and netscape 3.

If I am viewing a html page transferred via SSL, the key in the
lower left corner of the netscape window is closed. Good.
But, if the embedded applet opens a dialog window, netscape
shows a broken key in the dialog window's bottom bar.

This looks confusing to me because the secure transmission
channel is still working correctly.

Is there a way to get the key in the applets dialog window closed?
(no, upgrading to netscape 4.x is not an option)

Thanks a lot in advance
