[Cooker] major eclipse/SWT problems with current GTK

[Udo Rader]

Hi,

the currently shipped GTK has issues with eclipse 3.5 and applications
built upon it.

The problem is that mouse clicking items (button etc.) does not work
most of the time, whereas keyboard navigation still works.

This is also discussed in https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=54863.

There is a known workaround for the problem, but the real solution would
be to apply this patch to gtk:

http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtk+/commit/?id=a79f929dd6c89fceeaf0d9039e5a10cad9d87d2f

This is probably too late for inclusion in 2010.0, but who knows :-)

I believe this patch is already included in the gtk+ we ship, and the
workaround mentioned in the bug (setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS in the
environment) works because of this patch.

You are perfectly right, I was lazy reading what the patch really does :-)

This upstream bug has a backported patch for 3.5.1 on Fedora 12:
   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=287307

And apparently it'll be fixed in Eclipse 3.5.2.
