I'm trying to run the Eclipse Automated tests using Linux and gtk. Whenever I try to run the
jdttext tests I run into the exception below.

I do have a valid X session running. The DISPLAY variable is set and I can start the Eclipse
IDE without problems. I have no clue where to start looking. I'm using a VNC server. Can
that be the problem?

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren

I did a search for gtk_init_check and found the following:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=119156
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106396

Though neither of these bugs are resolved, they have discussion (in
particular the first report) about possible ways to make this work.

Thanks for the pointers. The information did help me understand the probable cause of the
problem. Unfortunately non of the suggested workarounds works for me but I added an entry to
the 106396 bug to encourage further discussion. I hope we'll find a solution to this soon.
