Hi,

When I run glassfish-v3-preview-b59-unix.sh on an Ubuntu system with
KDE, the installer stops at 97% and the following exception is thrown (I
am pretty sure this is a known issue)
Installation is succesful though, everything works fine. So instead of
printing the Exception while the UI installer "hangs", I think it is
better to have no desktop icon and a graceful shutdown of the installer.

Exception in thread "Thread-32" java.lang.NullPointerException
