[Raivis Rengelis <raivis@xxxxx>]

turning off assistive technologies did not help me, eclipse (galileo SR1 from eclipse.org, not from repos) was still crashing when trying svn checkout (tigris.org subclipse plugin). The cure was as follows:
remove/rename libcairo-swt.so in eclipse folder to something that is not recognized as shared library, for example libcairo-swt.notsoso
apt-get install libswt-gtk-3.5-jni (i have karmic-proposed repos enabled so i got 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3 but it might work with earlier versions as well)
run eclipse and code away

Note it is the same with Sun's Java:
