Are you starting eclipse with a brand new workspace? If so the empty
dialog problem has been around for a long time. I think it is actually
due to a gtk update. An empty workspace displays the big-buttoned
welcome screen, which is what I think is having problems. The
workaround for me is to copy an existing workspace, then delete
everything to get an empty workspace.
I haven't seen a fix for the problem yet. I'm using Eclipse 3.4 with
newest Sun java and a completely updated rawhide.
If it is happening on an existing workspace then I haven't seen that
one yet (though I guess if you operate from the big-button
welcome/task screen) I can see it happening all the time.
Thanks Darrell, I didn't know of this issue.
However, I operate from an existing workspace. I'm not sure what
the dialog is about, but IIRC I have Eclipse setup to prompt me
for the right workspace at startup, so that might be it.
One thing is for certain -- I'm not using the big-button welcome
screen.
