It could be that you did not use the update script to move to gnome
2.12.  I am using eclipse + jdk15 + gnome 2.12 on amd64 6-stable and I
do not have the problem you describe.  You compiled eclipse with

make WITHOUT_CAIRO=y

or did you place it in /etc/make.conf?  I built with the command line.

Note there are patches to eclipse for compiling on i386 with the latest
cairo, but (IMHO) they are wrong.  They are incomplete and provide a
broken interface, so it is useless.
