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.

 We discussed this matter on IRC and agreed that it was impossible to
 revert this change with respect to other apps in Debian stable.

 The outcome of the discussion also shows that it might help to offer
 the Debian package version and revision via Gtk's API, or some way of
 checking the applied patches.  It also underlines that diverging from
 upstream to fix bugs has to be done with care.

 Hence, I'm closing this bug.  Please reopen it if necessary.

   Cheers,
