It is not normal on a linux system

The typo is in $HOME/Desktop/Genealogy\ J.desktop

In that file you have a line that says

Exec=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0.u4-sun-1.6.0.u4/jre/bin/javaw -Xmx512m
-Xms32m -jar run.jar

Edit that to remove the w from javaw, and it will work. I tried it
myself here, and it does work
