This indied is a quite nasty feature. I hava a workaround which allso 
fixes some other fedora-built eclipse bugs: Start eclipse with Suns java 
VM.
(eclipse /wm <path so suns java>)
Of course this is rather weird couse I develop programs on GCJ. But this 
fixes some bugs, won't freeze it as root and even loads faster.
