I am also seeing this crash in Xubuntu 9.10 Karmic  on my laptop (amd64
HP nc6320 with intel 945GM graphics) but not on my desktop (also amd64
but with nVidia 9500GT graphics). Other than the graphics drivers, the
two systems are setup with the same software.

I have installed eclipse from the apt repository so the
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS workaround is in place and the buttons all work fine.

Xubuntu appears to not have the assistive technologies at all, so I
can't turn it off (the package at-api is not installed).

I have subclipse 1.6.5 installed OK and the javaHL is working. Some of
the subclipse functionality works but checkouts fairly reliably cause a
libpango crash similar to above on the laptop only. I think I have seen
it work occasionally when I haven't changed anything, but usually it
does crash.

I have tried renaming libcairo-swt and using the 64-bit
org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.5.1.v3555a.jar from #47, neither has
any effect.

BUG
=============
After having started Eclipse 3.5 on Karmic 32bit (openjdk-6-jre 6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu2) and running it for some minutes, it terminates saying

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb7b62856, pid=24497, tid=3084424896

#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:

Seems to be the bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522187 , but for the bug opener, the problem seems to be gone.
Please tell me if you need more information.
