No, the "usePolicy" feature was already present in JRE 1.2.2 RC1.
The pop-up mechanism will be disabled if that permission is
implied by the permissions granted to the applet (where the permissions
granted to the applet are specified in the system policy).

Please send me your signed JAR file (in uuencoded format).
