Bug#424860: eclipse randomly crashes (VNC) X server

[Christian Pernegger]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.1-6
Severity: important


I've installed the Debian version of Eclipse for the first time
today. The box starts a bunch of vnc4servers via gdm which are the
main method of accessing it.

In the ~2 hours I've tried working with Eclipse since the install my
VNC session was disconnected twice. Apparently the server crashed and
was restarted both times - naturally my session was gone along with
all open windows and unsaved data.

Compounded with the fact that Eclipse lacks an autosave feature this
makes it quite unusable for me.

Please tell me what debug info I should (generate and) provide.

Regards,

C.
