The 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
