I was one of the lucky chaps who got the Firefox 3.5/XULrunner 1.9.1/Cairo whatever updates before they were withdrawn. Afterward, Eclipse worked until I tried to create a new workspace. It would then error out of the splash screen, logging "java.lang.RuntimeException: Widget disposed too early!", "org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: XPCOM error -2147467262". Afterward it would never start -- same problem. Allowing emerge to downgrade Firefox, XULrunner, and Cairo got Eclipse running again. It seems, from a number of reports against Eclipse elsewhere, that Eclipse is very fragile w.r.t. XULrunner versions and needs to be dependent on specific releases thereof. Dunnno which package fails to follow good upward-compatibility practices, just that the combination is very touchy. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install eclipse-sdk-3.4-r2 2.Update xulrunner to 1.9.1.2-r2 3.Start Eclipse. (You may have to create a new workspace before the problem appears.) Actual Results: Eclipse blows up during initialization, logging the above errors. Expected Results: Eclipse runs normally. Since this problem depends on a withdrawn update, I'm just filing this report to document problems that may recur when the updated packages are updated for real.

you need to update/rebuild swt which includes the proper patch for xulrunner-1.9.1 support
I think this one is fixed now.
