RTC client 4.0.3 crashes when Delivering a Change Set

Hi!
I have no idea what is causing this issue, so I will try to give as much information and background as possible.

I am using RTC client 4.0.3 (same version as the one installed on our server).
We are using RTC in our team to manage the source code for a project.
The process to make changes is:
- create a change set
- associate it to a work item
- request for a review
- once approved deliver the change set

I have been using it on my computer running Ubuntu OCDC 12.04 (IBM J9 VM build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0) with no problem.
I decided to upgrade to Ubuntu OCDC 14.04 (that comes with IBM J9 VM build 2.6, JRE 1.7.0).
I forgot that I had a couple of change sets waiting for approval but I still had a backup of the single files I modified (not the whole workspace directory).
So, after the upgrade I reinstalled the RTC 4.0.3 client and checked the status of my work items. Every time I tried to open the change set associated with the item window, the client would crash after a short while. I suspected the reason was that the client was looking for the changes in my local machine and could not find them.
Somehow, in the short period before the crashes, I managed to remove the not yet delivered change sets from the affected work items.
I experienced some crashes when accepting some unrelated change sets but other than that I thought I solved the problem.
I then used my backup to reapply the changes and asked again for a review.
I now have an approval but whenever I try to deliver the change set the client systematically crashes.

How can I fix this?
Is it an incompatibility problem between the 4.0.3 client and 14.04/newer java?
Or is it a problem because of the change sets I lost with the upgrade?

This is the error I get when I launch the client from a terminal, I can provide the dumped java files if needed:

RTC 4.0.3 client should be compatible with Java 1.7:

For this sort of issue I believe it is better to open a PMR with IBM Support, or file a defect on jazz.net, if you don't have a support contract.

It looks like a xulrunner issue with your new OS install. I don't think Ubuntu 14.04 installs xulrunner by default anymore. Check your install repo for xulrunner or find one compatible with the version of Eclipse that you are using.

I do not think I have xulrunner installed, I cannot find it in any of the usual directories

That's your issue. You don't have it installed.
