Eclipse crashes frequently after upgrading to Xfce 4.12

Hi,

I'm running Xubuntu 14.04 (x64) and I upgraded Xfce from 4.10 to 4.12 (through adding "xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12" ppa). After that, Eclipse became instable and crashes under several circumstances (e.g. creating new project).

In the terminal, it shows the following error message:

The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 28725 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

After downgrading back to 4.10, the instability disappeared and eclipse worked fine again.

I tried both eclipse 3.8 (from Xubuntu repositories) and eclipse 4.4 from the website. I also tried different jdk versions (1.7, 1.8).

At the beginning I thought it was an incompatibility between xubuntu 14.04 and xfce 4.12, but recently I found someone who has the exact same issue running Xubuntu 15.04 which comes with xfce 4.12 preinstalled: Three different Eclipse versions all crash with BadWindow on 15.04

Is this issue related to xfce 4.12 at all? Is there anything I can do to solve this issue? Is it a bug?

Re: Eclipse crashes frequently after upgrading to Xfce 4.12

same problem here. Actually eclipse ( luna 4.4 sr2 ) crashes every-single-time i try to start it.

Running Slackware-current x86_64, custom kernel 4.0 on a Dell xps lx502 (Optimus nvidia/intel hybrid ) running on the intel GPU, strace'ing eclipse stops on "nvidia/wayland" ???

( switching WM to blackbox, eclipse runs fine )

any ideas ?... need more info ?

Re: Eclipse crashes frequently after upgrading to Xfce 4.12

I run eclipse on Xfce and don't experience the crashes. However, I have an intel video card. Given the information both of you have outlined above, perhaps a bug report is in order. At least to give the xfwm developers notice of the issue.

Re: Eclipse crashes frequently after upgrading to Xfce 4.12

UPDATE: after a

tar cjvf myXFCE_confs_bkp.tar.bz2 $HOME/.config/xfce4

rm -rf $HOME/.config/xfce4

ecliipse is starting fine on xfce 4.12; surely there was some garbage on my configs... then, while reconfiguring my enviroment, when i set "Kiwi" as window manager theme; eclipse's startup crashes again; using blackbird theme now, and it starts up nicely, but crashes "at random" ( so it seems ).
