Max Rydahl Andersen commented on TOOLSDOC-493:
----------------------------------------------

[~mmurray] talking with snjezana the message is:

"as to gtk3, I am not sure. gtk 2 is more stable than gtk 3. However, gtk 3 is faster and would be good to use and test it."

Unless QE comes back and says GTK3 is broken and not recommended I would say we should just document that if your system does use GTK3 and you are seeing rendering problems running "export SWT_GTK3=0" to disable GTK3 *might* help you but not a hard requirement.

> There are many serious issues related to GTK3 systems (Ubuntu, Fedora and other GNU/Linux distros). For example https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16315 . It would be good to mention that for OS containing GTK3 this tweak is needed to avoid these issues:
> {code}
> export SWT_GTK3=0
> {code}
