Eclipse crash: RenderBadPicture


If you ever try Eclipse visual editor and encounter following crash:

2010-09-08 22:25:50.639:INFO::Logging to StdErrLog::DEBUG=false via org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StdErrLog
The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 579001 error_code 172 request_code 152 minor_code 7)
  (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.)


then try upgrading xulrunner. I had several versions of xulrunner installed - probably due to upgrades from Opensuse 11.0 to 11.1 to 11.2 to 11.3 ... and i uninstalled versions 1.9.0 and 1.9.1 and only kept 1.9.2 of xulrunner.

-> no more crashes!
