How to reproduce: 1. run vncserver 2. connect to the display 3. you are in GNOME env as a root 4. open terminal 5. create user 6. su - user 7. eclipse You got a lot of gtk & gdk failed assertions and then Segmentation fault. Any ideas?
Here's the log from the segfault...

Do all other GTK application work fine in the same env ?
When I open `gcalctool` it ends with "cannot open display". When I run `xhost +` as a root I successfully open both `gcalctool` and `eclipse`.

CQ:WIND00234277 We've seen the same error messages, and the problem turned out to be a missing "xhost+" . Could the error message be improved in that case ?
Well, it's not just the error message what concerns me, I care more about the segmentation fault.
The same crash occurs when running eclipse via "sudo eclipse" on a openSUSE 11.1 distibution. So this crash is not necessarily depending on VNC. As expected, other X apps also fail to start since they got no connection to the X server. The crash is in the GTK lib itself which in turn is called by Java.

The same with RTC build engine 2.0.0.2ifix4 (OSGI application based on Eclipse 3.4.2) under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, x86-64 #4: GTK+lib version [ksh 62] % rpm -qa | grep -i gtk gtk2-engines-2.8.0-3.el5.x86_64 usermode-gtk-1.88-3.el5.2.x86_64 authconfig-gtk-5.3.21-5.el5.x86_64 gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5.i386 pygtk2-libglade-2.10.1-12.el5.x86_64 gtk2-2.10.4-20.el5.x86_64 pygtk2-2.10.1-12.el5.x86_64 Felipe, Michal - do we know the root cause of the problem? Is it GTK issue? Do you have any idea how to resolve this issue?
(In reply to comment #10) > Felipe, Michal - do we know the root cause of the problem? Is it GTK issue? Do > you have any idea how to resolve this issue? I didn't try it but it seems to me this is setup problem, you are missing a call to xhost, see comments #3 and #5.
I sending this over to Launcher, looking at the stack is seems the the code in the launcher is trying to make some x calls without first checking if x is there.
