Some of the Eclipse developers were complaining about this as well.

I believe it's an issue with metacity, the window manager.  You could try
filing a bug in Red Hat's bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com) but it
might already be filed, so search first.  There is a good chance that it's
an upstream issue, though, so you could also look at GNOME's bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org .

HTH,
