Or, equivalently, start eclipse with the -clean option. Furthermore, 
since this seems like a gtk thing, try removing your gtk/gnome 
preference files, or create a new user and try from his account. Another 
interesting thing would be to try to run eclipse with jdk14 instead of 
jdk15. The combination of these three tasks (a new user with jdk14 and 
no eclipse preferences stored) should at least be working.

I suppose workspace/.metadata/.log

This was based on another eclipse porting effort, which should probably 
be considered obsolete now.
