I just found some clues to the problem and a workaround. The same problem is reported in an eclipse forum: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=492101&S=da6dca63dfbc0b70f10c713ae3c539f3. The bug and a workaround are described in the eclipse bug report https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291257. For quick reference, the solution is setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true and exporting.
