You're running Eclipse on a server? But Eclipse still runs doesn't it?
I've found updating GTK quite painless in RH7.3 (even though there are no
"official" RPM packages, you can build them yourself).

That's a problem I've noticed too. Sometimes editors in Eclipse/GTK seem
to hang; it can take a long time before they react to events (close, open
file, scrolling). Could be bug 23472 which should be fixed in the last
nightly build.
