Using Mandrake 9.1 and the gtk version of Eclipse 2.1, Eclipse consistently
crashes.  In nearly every crash log, the culprit is
/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, though once it was Galaxy (the default widget
style for Mandrake 9.1).

The crash was occurring when I closed Eclipse, but then i cleared my workspace
and reinstalled Mandrake, and it would then close without error.  However, still
when I attempt to upload to my remote cvs server (using extssh), the system
crashes.  On the newsgroup, it was suggested that this is the "progressbar bug",
which would make sense since I've only had Eclipse crash while a progressbar is
or should be showing.

Mandrake 9.1 comes with lesstif, which will not allow Eclipse-motif to run at
all (an error arises about a function not being implemented... sorry I don't
have the message handy).  I was able to force an install of openmotif (rpm -ivh
--force openmotif.rpm), which is a workaround.  Eclipse-motif has been running
without incident on this same system, though I'd prefer the GTK version to be
working.

Thanks for looking into it and for contributing to this valuable project.
