I have a different problem. X or the window manager doesn't crash.
When I run an InstallShield installation script, I get:
*****

Testing /usr/local/jdk-1.1.5/bin/jre...
2 suitable java interpreter(s) detected
0) I want to specify a path to an interpreter.
1) Use /usr/local/jdk-1.1.5/bin/java
2) Use /usr/local/jdk-1.1.5/bin/jre
3) Terminate this installation.

Thread Alarm Q:
*****
And it exits. It doesn't matter if I use 'java' or 'jre' as the
interpreter. I am trying to run Amber, a system monitoring program for
Livingston/Lucent RABU PortMaster remote access servers and routers. It
is available at ftp://ftp.livingston.com/pub/le/software/java/. They
now also have a .jar file that does not use InstallShield (it can be run
directly with 'jre -cp . amber.jar Amber') and it runs, so I think the
problem is with something that InstallShield does.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
