It might also be worth trying adding the '-extension RANDR' option to 
the X server, to disable RANDR.

Thanks.

Well, with those details, I was able to reproduce some weird behaviour 
(not working menus, oddly placed windows), although not exactly what you 
see.

You didn't mention if any warnings are written by eclipse to the terminal?

That seems to be related to certain versions of GTK+ getting confused by 
the RANDR data provided by XWin and ending up believing the display is 
0x0 pixels in size.

I've built a snapshot with some potential fixes. Perhaps you could try 
that and see if it improves things for you?
