[news.eclipse.newcomer] half a button is not a button

[Bert van Ulft <lhvanulft@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey people,

I recently installed eclipse 3.0.1 on my Linux workstation. It seems to 
be working properly, but the buttons only show half the text (see 
attachment). I have the same problem on both my computers (home and 
work, both running the KDE desktop at SUSE 9.x).
Is anyone familiar with this problem? And even better do you know the 
solution?

thanks,

Bert

PS I do not want to upgrade eclipse yet, because the Photran version 
that is compatible with that version of eclipse is still a beta version 
and will not work with the latest CDT. Deleting the ui.prefs of Photran 
will not solve the problem by the way.
