It's always hard to debug something on a platform that isn't handy. Sorry for the trouble...

One thing I noticed it that "regular" Eclipse tool tips seem to be produced by a different mechanism than the ones used in parts of Spindle (all of Spindle?). The Spindle tool tips seem to be created using a top level window of some sort. In other words, the window manager puts an icon in the Gnome panel (think Windows Start bar at the bottom of the screen) each time a tooltip pops up. It doesn't do that for "regular" Eclipse tool tips. I'm assuming this is by design, possibly to work around a particular Eclipse/SWT thing of which I'm totally ignorant. In any case, "regular" Eclipse tool tips (in things like the standard Java editor) work just fine. The technique used by Spindle seems to be throwing things off. A quick workaround for Linux users (at least GTK ones) until you get this fully debugged might be to offer a config option in the Preferences dialog that simply disables the tool tips. I actually don't fine them too useful (even many of the standard Eclipse Java ones), and I'd rather use Spindle without crashes than have the tool tips, in any case. > > 1.

I tried it, but Motif Eclipse won't even start on RH8, at least my install. The Eclipse site says that both the GTK and Motif versions are for RH 7.X, so maybe there is something substantially different with RH8, or I haven't installed a particular library that it requires. I get the JVM blowing up while searching for a particular font. I'm sure this is a Eclipse/SWT/RH8 thing, totally unrelated to Spindle (haven't even tried installing it on the Motif version yet). -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility Learn to use your power at OSDN's High Performance Computing Channel http://hpc.devchannel.org/ _______________________________________________ Tapestry-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tapestry-developer
