Bug#334534: Patch from bug 307724 breaks Eclipse

[Billy Biggs]

Package: gtk+2.0
Severity: important

  The fix for Debian bug 307724 added a patch from gtk-2-6 branch to the
2.6.4 release for sarge.  This causes the following bugs in Eclipse,
where keybindings can completely fail:

    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111479
    https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=111514

  The patch was to fix the following long-standing bug in GTK+:

    http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109246

  While we worked with GTK+ to fix this bug, Eclipse had a workaround
which conflicts with the patch.  For 3.1.1 we disable our workaround if
GTK+ >= 2.6.8, but this check does not work with the patched version of
2.6.4 from debian.  There is unfortunately no clean way to detect
whether the version of GTK+ is fixed.

  I think the patch should be removed, or stable should be updated to
GTK+ 2.6.8.  Patching back a very tricky and low-level X event handling
patch into a previous version just decreases the stability of the
toolkit.
