Ahh, and I forgot to mention that downgrade of libglib-2.0-0 from v 2.22.3-0ubuntu1 to  v 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 did not help anyway. Previous versions of stable ganymede and galileo also crash after just few minutes after startup and usage.
Is there anybody who could just debug the problem and close this bug request ?

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

#

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.
