Comment 22 for bug 1406981

Just wanted you to know that adding the line to eclipse.ini seems to work for me under Ubuntu Gnome 13.04, upgraded to Gnome 3.8.1. Will the fix be part of this summer's Juno successor?

If not, I think the workaround info needs somehow to be spread, because this bug renders Eclipse totally unusable on newer Gnome-based linux distros, and this entry seems somewhat hard to find using google ... I didn't, which is the reason I created the duplicate, and I fear I won't have been the last.
