Comment 12 for bug 1168281

I do not have any experiences in GTK theming (I tried out a few from noobslab.com, but that's all).
What I see in this case, is that out of the box, Eclipse on Linux Mint 17 is very ugly. Appying the fix from Jens Reimann makes Eclipse look just as good as on any other distributions I have used before.
Based on these information, I concluded that this is a bug in the Mint-X theme. However, I really do not understand, how on earth can it happen, that this solution has been here for more then a year, and not land in Mint's repositories.
