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? 


  This problem occurs because you are using GTK+ 2.4.3 or newer, and
your GTK+ theme is trying to add a lot of padding around buttons, which
is conflicting with some button sizing policy in Eclipse.  Possible
fixes are:

  1. Upgrade to 3.1 where the problem is fixed in Eclipse.
  2. Use a different GTK+ theme engine.  The default engine should
     work fine.  Try running "gnome-theme-manager" to change it.
  3. Downgrade your version of GTK+ (difficult).

Hey Billy,

thanks for your reply. I was running the KDE desktop, but on Gnome it works fine indeed. I do not want to upgrade Eclipse yet as I am using the Photran fortran plugin. The latest stable version of Photran does not run under eclipse 3.1 and the beta version for eclipse 3.1 does not run with the default CDT plugin, so I decided to stick with 3.0.1 until the new Photran plugin is available.
