startup screen for a new workspace uses a web browser component that
depends on Mozilla's xulrunner. In newer Linux releases, this
xulrunner is 1.19 and incompatible with Eclipse. You can apt-get
install xulrunner to get a compatible version (1.18). The latest
integration releases should have an "esbox.sh" script inside which
will find and use that version and work around this issue, as well as
the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS one.</font></span></div></blockquote>
