I'm using Eclipse in KDE with oxygen-gtk widget style. SWT is known as a wrapper over GTK+ widgets on Unixes. But it seems to force some settings which make it hard to implement correct theming for it.

See http://i.imgur.com/SCl6g.png . It shows how an Eclipse dialog looks when i disable all work-arounds in oxygen-gtk for it.
Notice that:
1. There's no background gradient (which should make titlebar bg blend with window bg).
2. Groupbox child windows have wrong color
This is because regardless of what the theming engine draws, Eclipse somehow forces its own (apparently gtkrc-based) background and doesn't allow theming engine to do its job.

To reproduce the problem, workarounds can be removed by applying this patch to oxygen-gtk master:
