Eclipse Motif hangs when running on RH9 with a configuration running 2 monitors. The same Eclipse Motif works fine under Suze 8.2. Works ok when one of the 2 monitors is disabled. Hang occurs in XQueryColor. Also sometimes in XGetGeometry. Removing 'synchronize' in the OS class for XQueryColor does not fix it. The GTK version is Ok. Video cards: NVidia, ATI Radeon
RH 9 uses the new native posix thread library. Disabling it didn't fix the problem though. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/release-notes/x86/ Applications that are known to have problems using NPTL include: - Sun JRE prior to version 1.4.1 - IBM JRE If an application does not work properly with NPTL, it can be run using the old LinuxThreads implementation by setting the following environment variable: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=<kernel-version> The following versions are available: - 2.4.1 — Linuxthreads with floating stacks - 2.2.5 — Linuxthreads without floating stacks
Disabling "Xinerama" "Off" 'fixes' it. Commenting out FontPath "unix/:7100: also 'fixes' it
Changing title to more accurately reflect problem. This happens only with UTF8 locales. Works fine with en_US, fr_FR, ja_JP. Hangs with en_US.UTF8, fr_FR.UTF8.
Happens on Chrix's machine and Veronika's machine. Does not happen on Grant's machine.

Jose has reported the same problem in bug 39333. However, he was using CDE on Solaris.
I am using machines Sun RAVE, with Solaris 2.7 and 2.8, LANG=C and ATI Rage IIc video card.
It hung again. This time I was using LANG=en_US. I was using Eclipse without any crash since last Monday (28/07). The other times, it got hung after only 1 or 2 days of use. I'm attaching the stack trace and .log files.

Any news about this problem?? I've got other 2 hangs, this time I was using Solaris 2.8 - last time I reported it was Solaris 2.7. In all of the tests I used LANG = en_US. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
Changing title to reflect dual monitor issue. Jose, do you have a dual monitor setup? Nothing in your comments mentions this, your problem might be completely unrelated to this PR's issue. This PR is about a hang which appears on Linux RH9 with dual monitors and UTF8 locale. If you don't have a dual monitor, yours should be tracked in a separate PR.
I don't know what is a dual monitor, so I think I don't have it ... I had opened another Bug (#39333) and someone marked it as a duplication of this bug. If they are not the same issue please re-open the Bug 39333.
just for completeness: also happens with Matrox G450 Dual Head. setting LANG=en_US (not UTF) fixes it

Closing for lack of activity. If this is still happening with current drops of Eclipse on one of the reference platforms, please re-open.
