I ended up doing something similar to above.

I did not want to remove IcedTea, because I seem to recall some features
in OpenOffice.org requiring it (gcj) at one point in my past....

I installed the Sun JDK 6u3, then went to jpackage.org and installed
their java-1.6.0-sun-compat to enable alternatives.  I tried to be a
good boy first.

Though even after running alternatives, it left the IcedTea plugin
listed first in about:plugins.  Removing the symlink
of /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so got rid of the IcedTea
plugin, but the site still did not work until I stumbled across one more
little piece to make Sun happy.  I installed compat-libstdc++-33.  Now
the Jigsaw puzzles are working great and the Christmas present to my
wife is now complete....

Thanks everyone for the suggestions,
