After a system upgrade eclipse regulalary crashes the complete xsession. This usuallualy happens after I press ctrl + space.
When I start eclipse in a new xsession after the crash it freezes at startup. The logs do not contain any error messages that whould hint to a problem.
The strange thing is, sometimes a succeed to restart eclipse after a crashed xsesssion. In this case, eclipse runs for hours without a crash. Either the crash happens in the first minutes after starting the ide or not at all.
I have found this older bug: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10278. My symptoms are very similar, but the described workaround doesn't fix my problem.
My system setup:
xorg-server 1.7.6-3
xfce
jdk 6u20-1
eclipse 3.5.2
Update: I found the following message in my Xorg.log. Also eclipse isn't the only application causing the crash. Sometimes even the xfce terminal emulator crashes x.

I forgot that gdm must be always the last daemon in rc.conf. Putting gmd last the list solved my problem. No more crashes!

You should start gdm using /etc/inittab there is already the correct line in there so you just have to uncomment it
