Build 20021031(, 30, and 29)
Linux-GTK

Very often (in recent builds), when I perform an action that requires establishing a connection to the dev.eclipse.org CVS server, the progress dialog appears but it stalls before any progress is made. I have to hit Cancel, wait 10+ seconds (I just switch apps), and then try again or it never
connects.

This happens to me most often when I click the "Synchronize all CVS
projects..." button. The dialog appears and says "Authenticating over
extssh", but the progress monitor never budges.

This is not surprising for SSH, since we hang on the socket waiting for it to 
do its thing (which can take a long time).  There is no progress for us to 
show in that time period.

I am suspicious of you having to cancel and try again.  Have you changed JDK 
levels?

Boris, can you please investigate?

Can you provide more details?
I am using Eclipse on GTK for over a year, and never saw this situation.  Is
there  any specific circumstance when the bug happens, but does not under other
circumstances?  Did this show up recently, or has always been the same?

It only started happening recently. I've grown a little more patience and I 
think that it does eventually proceed. I think the thing that was "fooling" me
was the fact that the progress bar doesn't budge for a long time.

I can think of a few possibilities here:
1. The authentication process is taking longer because
  A. Our network connection got slower.
  B. The server got slower.
  C. The client got slower.
2. The progress monitor behavior has changed and it doesn't show progress
exactly like it used to (no progress during authentication).
3. I'm a weenie and the change is all in my head.

I can accept any of these possibilities and would be OK with closing this PR
if no one else has noticed a change in behavior here.

I'm not having this problem anymore.
