           Summary: When running Eclipse IDE, switching Desktop causes
                    hardlock
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: cfreak at gmail.com


Often when running Eclipse IDE on Xfce, switching to another desktop and then
switching back to the desktop running Eclipse causes Xfce to freeze. It appears
that either the window redraw hangs or as its redrawing, Eclipse hangs and Xfce
is waiting for it to finish. In either case the mouse can still move but nothing
is clickable and keyboard short cuts no longer work. Ctrl-Alt-BS also does
nothing, only option is to reboot or SSH in from another machine and kill X itself.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse IDE in one workspace
2. Switch Workspace using shortcut keys and then back (rapidly works better) 
3. Lock up occurs

Actual Results:  
The mouse can still move but Xfce doesn't respond when another deskop or app is
clicked. Short-cut keys no longer work, Ctrl-Alt-BS does not escape from X as it
should.

Expected Results:  
Even if Eclipse (or any other app) crashes, Xfce should be able to respond so
the app can be killed or X can be restarted correctly.

My configuration is:
Athlon 1.2 Ghz w/ 256MB RAM
Fedora (FC2) (2.6.10-1.9_FC2)
GTK+ 2.4

When the hang occurs no errors seem to be printed to any logs
