Java error installing Zend Studio on OpenSUSE 10.3

While installing Zend Studio 5.5 on OpenSUSE 10.3 the installer exits with this error:
>java: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock’ failed.
Aborted
Some research on Google gave plenty of fixes for after Zend Studio was installed but not for the actual installation. You can fix this by setting the following variable before launching the installer and before running the application.
>export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=1
