Hey everyone!
I forgot to post back here... I mailed Supermicro about this issue, and they were kind enough to provide me with a beta firmware for my board (X11SSH-LN4F) with the new HTML5 iKVM console, and it works wonders! All my Java nightmares finally put to rest!
Moreover, and most ironically, this new beta *also* fixed the Java iKVM console itself, which I can now use from IPMIView20 on my Mac. So go figure! (also, and as a final treat, no more "You have to update to the latest Java runtime" browser alert that was driving me up a wall).
But well, hope that helps anyone reading this and dreading Java, don't be shy to write to Supermicro! (at their support address).
