<h4>Input Method broken (Motif only)</h4>
796
<p>Some versions of RedHat Linux such as Fedora Core 3 and Enterprise Linux WS 
797
release 4 use a new technology called IIIM (Intranet/Internet Input Method
798
Framework) to replace the old XIM (X input method).   When running on these 
799
new systems, Eclipse will crash if you attempt to enter any DBCS character.  The 
800
workaround is to use a XIM based input method such as chinput.  This problem 
801
may be fixed in newer releases of RedHat.

<h4>Eclipse does not start on Linux-Motif with Xinerama and a UTF-8 locale</h4>
805
<p>The Linux-motif build of Eclipse does not launch properly when run on a 
806
computer with Xinerama (provides support for dual head monitors) and a UTF-8 
807
locale.  The workaround for this problem is to change the locale to a non-UTF-8 
808
value, or to disable Xinerama.

<h4>Drawing problems when using non-advanced graphics on recent GTK versions</h4>
878
<p>On modern Linux distributions with a GTK version greater than 2.18, clipping problems and pixel corruption
879
can occur if the SWT client uses non-advanced GC calls. These problems seem to be caused by low-level bugs
880
in the interactions between GDK and X.
881
<p>
882
The workaround for this problem is to specify Java property <code>org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo</code> with value <code>true</code>,
883
which instructs SWT to always use Cairo for all GC calls (advanced graphics).  An easy way to set this property is to specify VM argument
884
<code>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=true</code> when launching Eclipse or your SWT application.
