Hi,

It will be difficult to make the change for debian wheezy as the glibc used there is quite old. I understand setting the flag everytime you need to start eclipse is slightly irritating. You can add the following lines to eclipse.ini to make it permanent

--launcher.GTK_version
2

This will force eclipse to use GTK 2 always

Thanks
