Are you implying the problem should not occur?

Yes, I did a normal # aptitude install of jabref. I don't have a 
desktop manager but my window manager has an applications menu. I've 
never used it but I look for jabref and its not in the mentu. The 
jabref command is in my path and so I simply do:

  $ jabref
