Q: 

How do you Prevent Eclipse Crashing when Switching Workspaces

I'm trying to switch to a new workspace in Eclipse, but no matter what I do the GUI closes and hangs at the console. There is no debug output or errors messages.

Ok, this can't be a bug in Eclipse, so what do I need to fix on my system to get it working? I'm running on Ubuntu 10.10, the eclipse version is listed:

Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.5.2
Build id: M20100211-1343
A: 

Short answer: Disable "Assistive Technologies" in the System->Preferences menu.

You can read more about it in the related bug report.
