I'm running Sawfish window manager version 1. The problem is that when I debug
a plugin and hit a breakpoint inside the callback of a menu item, my whole
Window system freezes and I have to switch to a text console and kill eclipse
+ Java. I haven't tried this with Motif yet, but with GTK 2 it happens every
time, both on builds 621 and 612.

To reproduce:
- Develop a plugin that extends a context menu (my plugin extends the Java
  editor's context menu)
- Debug the plugin as a standalone workbench
- Set a breakpoint inside the "run" of the action class for the menu extension
- Hit the breakpoint

The Window Manager (Sawfish is the only one I tried) is now "frozen".
