Zekr relies SWT library. Unfortunately, SWT does not support XULRunner 
6.0. The solution is to use the WebKit backend instead.

1) Make sure that /home/<username/.zekr/config.properties does *NOT* have 
this setting:
options.browser.useMozilla=true

2) Make sure that libswt-webkit-gtk-3-jni is installed.
