Yay!  This could be the first time in seven years that Eclipse's Browser 
control on Linux is not broken by the release of a new version of its 
native renderer.  (Just reiterating that this is much appreciated).

To clarify, this means that the release in ~ March 2012 is planned to not 
work with GTK+ 2.x?  If so, is this a bit premature given the huge 
collection of GTK+ 2.x apps out there?  I believe that Linux distros are 
continuing to ship GTK 2.x for a while because of this.
