-------------------------------------------------------------------

For me (running latest Fedora 20) Luna/GTK3 is not usable at all. 
It turned out that GTK 3.10 used on FC20 has issues they dont know how to solve yet: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127

> This ticket is meant to list the bugs related to GTK3 affecting JBDS:
> * JBIDE-16280 VPE/XulRunner crashes workbench
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=420581
> * Central tests uses SWT_GTK3=0 in its pom.
> * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421127
> We should make sure all SWT issues we met are reported upstream and that we provide the necessary assistance to SWT developers to make sure everything will be stable for Luna/GA.
> On Linux, most issues can be "hidden" by setting SWT_GTK3=0, but that's definitely not something we want to rely on for JBDS, as SWT over GTK2 will not be maintained in future.
