Please be aware that that kernel version is still in testing status, so I don’t recommend installing it on a productive system.

Ja, eine wahre Geschichte. Bei mir hats etwa ein Jahr gedauert, aber ansonsten stimmts ;)

Nach einigem Basteln habe ich dann dank Junya das Problem gefunden: Die xorg.conf-Option XkbVariant war bei mir nicht richtig konfiguriert. Das Ganze sollte am Schluss so aussehen:

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier     "Keyboard0"
  Option         "XkbModel" "pc105"
  Option         "XkbLayout" "ch"
  Option         "XkbVariant" "de"
  Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Use emerge-webrsync instead.

The following error message was displayed:

/opt/vmware/player/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer: symbol lookup error: /opt/vmware/player/lib/vmware/lib/libvmwareui.so.0/libvmwareui.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZThn12_N4view10FieldEntry17delete_text_vfuncEii

The solution on Gentoo (thanks to scherbaum.info and discretia.org) is to rebuild x11-libs/libview (and possibly also x11-libs/libsexy). The problem occurs after you rebuild gtkmm with the USE-flag accessibility.

Popup:

Shell output:

After some research in the internet, i finally found that the problem (in my case) was xulrunner. I couldn’t just remove xulrunner though, as it is a dependency of mozilla-firefox. The solution was to remove xulrunner, and to rebuild the mozilla-firefox package with the xulrunner USE-flag turned off.

emerge --unmerge xulrunner
echo 'www-client/mozilla-firefox -xulrunner' >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av mozilla-firefox

After that, you should be able to start Eclipse without the previous error messages.

Update: An even better solution to use eclipse is to unmask eclipse-3.3 in your package.keywords, and to use that version instead of 3.2… Apparently the above error is a bug in the eclipse-3.2-ebuild.
