[Bug 463086] Re: Eclipse loses button events with swt-gtk in karmic

[Preston L. Bannister]

Strictly speaking, this is a bug in GTK. A new version of GTK shipped
that was meant to be compatible, but instead broke existing applications
(at the very least those based on Eclipse). The application use of GTK
might (or might not) be considered in some way improper, but practical
considerations should be dominant.

Fixing this in GTK will in one step remove the problem in *all*
currently impacted applications. Fixing this in Eclipse will only help
new and newly updated Eclipse installations. Existing Eclipse-based
applications will continue to be impacted until (and if) updated by
their respective developers.
