Eclipse and Azureus do not work anymore. Eclipse outputs the following to console:

The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 1066 error_code 11 request_code 145 minor_code 5)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

The splash screen for eclipse appears, and the progress bar moves slightly before exiting.

I have mananged to start eclipse on another opensuse 10.3 machine, and it works. The difference seems to be that on the other machine I have 2 outstanding patches:

Repository:            | Name         | Version | Category | Status
-----------------------+--------------+---------+----------+-------
Main Update Repository | fileshareset | 4865-0  | security | Needed
Main Update Repository | kdelibs3     | 4863-0  | security | Needed

while on the machine which has the crash no updates are pending.
