Issue - optirun starts and stops application

Hi,
I'm running bumblebee Ubuntu 11.04. The machine is an Asus N43SL with a NVidia GeForce GT540M.

After installing bumblebee I enabled it with success:

$ sudo /etc/init.d/bumblebee enable
* Starting Bumblebee X server bumblebee
DON Enabling nVidia card succeeded.
. [ OK ]

Then, when I was trying to test an application (glxgears) with optirun, something went wrong:
1) Bumblebee XServer started
2) a window opened and closed for an instant
3) Bumblebee XServer started

Here is the console output:

$ optirun glxgears
* Starting Bumblebee X server bumblebee
DON Enabling nVidia card succeeded.
. [ OK ]
* Stopping Bumblebee X server bumblebee
_OFF Disabling nVidia card succeeded.
[ OK ]
