[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: FileDialog on Red Hat Linux

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never heard of this before.  I'm guessing that you're on an old Linux
version whose gtk version is <= 2.2.x (eg.- RHEL3 with no updates), and are
seeing gtk's old file selection dialog.  This dialog's UI was a bit strange,
but I think you could still enter a filename on the text field at the
bottom.  Do you not see the text field at all?

The 3.2 stream has been closed for quite a while now.  It would be
interesting to know if you still see this problem with a recent build of
eclipse/swt such as
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/index.php .
