  I tend to think that if you see some sort of behaviour like this, 
it's likely something that can be reproduced under Linux in some sort of 
weird situation.  The weird stuff that I've seen under fink are usually 
relating to the way the Mac fonts are exported to X11 (check it out -- 
you don't have a bold style for most fonts!!) and the DPI of the X 
server.  This probably explains some of the dialog sizing weirdness, 
since Eclipse uses the font size for a bunch of their dialog layouts.

  So --  can you just file a bug against Platform > SWT with 
screenshots, and we can debug these there?

  Thanks,
