Which eclipse bug was it? I know one change (Eclipse bug #287307)
broke a few things in SWT (GTK buttons don't work!), but that can be
fixed with:

GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1; export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS

Does that fix the filer too? I don't use the pinboard any more, as my
window manager doesn't allow a desktop background.
