Comment 16 for bug 183969

I think this is related to the SWT toolkit.. I tried using gdb on Eclipse, putting a breakpoint on gdk_x_error as suggested, but I can't get Eclipse to run synchronized against X. So instead I turned on verbose JNI output on the JVM, and this is the last output I got before it crashes:

The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 948 error_code 11 request_code 150 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

So, when the native method org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gdk_drawable_get_depth is called, it seems to cause X problems. This was the best I could do in a short time..
