The latter might exactly be your problem... Not that "everything is fine" ;) but that the window manager / desktop is making use of the respective key events (Ctrl-F*), and doesn't pass them on to the target application. It's kind of consuming the events before Eclipse has a chance to take notice of them... The details of how these things behave depend on the specific implementations -- X doesn't enforce any rules that applications would have to abide by. Normally the window manager is the first to evaluate events, but there are also some applications like vmware, rdesktop and the like, which 'capture' all key events until you explicitly tell them to return to cooperative mode. Which window manager / desktop are you using? To check whether that really is the cause, you could temporarily run a different window manager, which isn't using this Ctrl-F* key combination. If Eclipse is then working as intended, you'd have to figure out how to change key bindings in either the window manager or Eclipse...
