If I try putting it in the Applications menu of X11, though, I can't get it to run.  I've tried specifying the full path in the menu option, and that wasn't any better.

Your attachment seems to have gone missing, but you should also open
Applications > Utilities > Console and look for error messages there.  This
is more likely to tell you the real reason for the crash, if it says
anything at all about it.
