I don't use webstart.
The jnlp file is a xml file, you can open it in an editor. The interesting parts are: codebase=" http://files.gokgs.com" and href="javaBin/cgoban.jar"
Knowing this, you can download cgoban3 from http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jar

I made a script called cgoban3 with a command like this:
java -jar /path/to/cgoban.jar $*
Test the script with "cgoban3 -help". And you will get a usage window.

The options are:
-help: Show this message
-edit <file>: Bring up <file> in an SGF editor
-connect: Connect to the K Go Server
-nosplash: Don't create the opening title window

P.S. -nosplash does not work for me.

162.8.230.35: Using cgoban3 with firefox and linux (2006-12-04 18:02) [#2500]

Here is my solution:

First off you need to locate your javaws:

locate javaws

I chose to use this one (remember for later):

/opt/jre1.5/bin/javaws

Now create a script for cgoban:

nano /usr/local/bin/cgoban

Contents follow (use your javaws in place of "/opt/jre1.5/bin/javaws"):

#!/bin/sh

if [ -z ${1} ] ; then
    /opt/jre1.5/bin/javaws  http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
else
   /opt/jre1.5/bin/javaws -open ${1}  http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
fi

Then set the script to be executable:

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/cgoban

Now you should be able to type from the command line:

cgoban

It should start with no problem, next try opening an sgf:

cgoban pathto/some.sgf

If all works well, click on an sgf inside firefox and choose "open with" and browse to "/usr/local/bin/cgoban", click "Always perform this action" and hit ok. Cgoban should open your sgf in one click. :)
