I recently upgraded from Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 to Fedora 1.0 and now I can't
start Eclipse with gtk bindings. This is the error I get:

I have Eclipse 3.0M4 on a Fedora (Red Hat) Linux box
with JDK 1.4.2_02. 

The motif version still seems to work.

I post this as an enhancement request as I am aware you don't promise
comaptibility with Gnome 2.4.0. In the mean time I'd like advice on a workaround
  using Gnome 2.2 for Eclipse while using Gnome 2.4 for the rest of my machine.
