JVM crashes when running SOAPUI on Ubuntu

Question

I just downloaded SOAPUI 4.0.1 and tried to run it in Ubuntu 11.10. I run the file soapui.sh. The application started up and the window actually appeared, but then after a few seconds it closed. Looking at the terminal I saw that the JVM crashed. Below are the details of the error:

(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.30.0/./gobject/gtype.c:2708: You forgot to call g_type_init()

(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:4183): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Problematic frame:
C  [libgconf-2.so.4+0x15b99]  gconf_enum_to_string+0xd59

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Look here: http://www.eviware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7736

Look in ..../soapui-4.0.1/bin/soapui.sh:

#uncomment to disable browser component
#JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true" <- uncomment this line

if you are usising soapui.sh to start soapUI. If you used installer and using launcher than in soapUI-*.vmoptions add -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true

that should do the trick.
