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

>-computer with Xinerama (provides support for dual head monitors) and a UTF-8 
>-locale.  The workaround for this problem is to change the locale to a non-UTF-8 
>-value, or to disable Xinerama.

>+<h4>Drawing problems when using non-advanced graphics on recent GTK versions</h4>
>+<p>On modern Linux distributions with a GTK version greater than 2.18, clipping problems and pixel corruption
>+can occur if the SWT client uses non-advanced GC calls. These problems seem to be caused by low-level bugs

>+<p>
>+The workaround for this problem is to specify Java property <code>org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo</code> with value <code>true</code>,
>+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
>+<code>-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.useCairo=true</code> when launching Eclipse or your SWT application.
