Sorry if I'm thick, but as is stands the startups script needs to point
to where the libs reside? If different distributions put them in
differnt places we hav a problem.

The solution could be somehting like "java-gnome-conf" so that the
startup script starts the app using some call similar to:

    java -Djava.jni.path=3D`java-gnome-conf --jnipath` -classpath
`java-gnome-conf --classpath` -jar theapp.jar

Would this work?
