Description Billy Biggs CLA 2005-05-10 14:56:17 EDT 
I20050510-0010

When using eclipse with OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 on Fedora Core
3 and using -X instead of -Y, eclipse crashes when it tries to get the mouse
pointer relative to the root window.  Using DeviceData.debug = true I got the
following trace.  Commenting out the call to gdk_window_get_pointer works around
the issue for me.

Here are my observations:

- Running Debian Linux box
- Connecting from a Windows machine w/CygWin SSH and running Xming X server
- Switched to Java 5.0
- Now using ssh -Y

With the combination of these two changes on two different machines(both running
Debian), I've not been able to reproduce the

I can't see how is this relevant to the bug.

The stack trace reported with the original issue no longer exists as we don't use such methodologies anymore. I am going to close this ticket, please repoen it if the issue persists on GTK3.22/24 and SWT 4.10.
