Patterns mode often doesn't render properly - the patterned stripes are invisible. Sometimes zooming in or out, or selecting stripes causes them to be painted.
The problem is the version of libcairo1 on linux. On Mandrake 10.1 (and many other recent distros) the installed version is 0.1.3. But as noted in bug 102481, version 0.4.0 is required, and is shipped with Eclipse 3.1. To use it, you need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the top-level Eclipse directory. Then the Visualiser patterned stripes work perfectly.
