Juno exits with error Gtk error, does not save open files, etc. [message #899689]

I am using Juno vanilla SDK, no plugins. It exits each time with following error:

Gtk:ERROR:gtkwidget.c:8843:gtk_widget_real_map: assertion failed: (gtk_widget_get_realized (widget))

The next time I open Eclipse, I have to start from scratch. All open files, the explorer view, etc. have to be reopened.

With Indigo, it saved all my previously opened files and restored the perspective to the state it was in before I quit. It is very irritating to have to do this every time.

Moreover, if I customize the perspctive in any way, those changes are lost too. (Even after doing a save perspective.)

Any ideas?

Is this a crash, or does that error occur on File > Exit?

The window layout and the perspective definitions are persisted as part of the application model, which is saved at application exit time. If Eclipse crashed (which I've seen a lot of on CentOS 5. Cool

then the application model won't have been saved.

This is on normal File > Exit.

Just open eclipse, open a few files and exit, and it throws the error.

I use Eclipse 4.2 a lot on Linux and I haven't seen that particular problem. Unfortunately SWT sometimes seems very sensitive to older versions of GTK. There a a number of fixes going into SWT-GTK for 4.2.1 (thanks to RedHat and the regular SWT committers at IBM) so it should get better.

I suggest you open a bug against SWT and include as much detail as possible about your OS, GTK version, and any log files. If you can attach to Eclipse with GDB just before you hit Fle > Exit, then you might be able to get a stack trace which would likely be enormously helpful.
