Description
There is some signed applet content on the web (I have not narrowed down exactly which it is, but it might be upnext.com) which modifies deployment.properties to set the sun.java2d.ddrawoffscreen=false system property. This breaks all unsigned applet content in the new Java Plug-In because this is not a known secure system property. We need to slightly revise the list of known secure system properties based on the Java 2D team's input.

Comments
EVALUATION We have decided to not make this change and instead to solve the underlying problem in a different way. See 6643379.
