I was having similar problems when I was playing with KDE.... alien
wouldn't work and in fact I couldn't even install a Debian package without
it telling me that the gzip package unexpectedly ended.
But if I tried it on a console or in an xterm from Afterstep it worked
fine.
There is definately something weird going on.
