Bug Description

Hello,

To crash eclipse, all I have to do is:
1. Start eclipse ("eclipse" from the terminal)
2. Open the "New Project" dialog, by clicking file->new->project
3. Press Esc.

Eclipse crashes, and I get this message:

(eclipse:7374): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
#

Aborted

(The warning line appears during eclipse startup, so it's probably irrelevant.)

The error file is attached.

I'm using ubuntu 9.10, eclipse 3.5.1+repack~1-0ubuntu3.

Thanks!

The same thing happened after I switched the default JRE to sun's:

It's due to the unstable version (2.22.3-0ubuntu1) of libglib2.0-0.
You can use Synaptic Package Manager to downgrade libglib2.0-0 and libglib2.0-data to the previous version (2.22.2-0ubuntu1).
Mark the package you want to downgrade, and choose "Force version ..." from "Package" on the main menu. Select the previous version and it is done.

please close this bug, the error occured due to some rogue glib versoin pulled in by the appmenu beta feed...
