Do you guys know why this is ?

No (and I personally, am beyond caring about
applet/browser/VM interaction problems).

Oh how I wish I lived in your world :-)
Browsers are nothing but trouble.


Can anything be done about it ?

Launch the applet using web start. Here is an
example of an applet launched using web start.

This has crossed my mind. Problem is that actually two applets run on
the same page (a game and a chat applet) and running two separate
windows would...well...suck.
This may be the path I take if no other solution is found, but then I
will build a new application with both the game and the chat in one. But
I would really like to avoid that extra work so if anybody else has a
solution I would dance a happy dance and buy you a beer :-)
