Yes, I am using the unsigned applet. I read the doco on self signing and
decided it was not worth it for a small personal server. This one is not real
important since I have reasonable alternatives.

I do look forward to being able to do a global copy/paste though. 

I am using mindterm with open webmail. It provides one heck of a pair since I
can check my email with open webmail and then open a terminal window using
mindterm to use slrn to read my usenet groups from any machine at any
location. Everything stays on the server so I need not worry about which
browser or machine I use. Fantastic program.
