Got a user screaming... his 5.10 workstation, first time since the upgrade
java-openjdk 1.7.0.51-2.4.4.2

Anyone else seeing that? I logged onto his machine, and I don't use
eclipse, at all, so there shouldn't be a lot of crap in my .eclipse, and
it shows the splash window, then tells me it's crashed in another pop-up,
and it's gone. The error log it tells me about says, in its very long java
dump, at the end:

Time to downgrade openjdk?
