Can't open Vaadin Designer on Fedora using ICE
Created by: anarak
When I tried to open Vaadin Designer with ICE and GTK2 enabled, I got the following error attached. I had no problems except some glitches in Properties window in the Designer with Eclipse Oxygen that had GTK3 set.
Vaadin recommends launching Eclipse with GTK2 and Cairo enabled as explained here. Fedora had webkitgtk3 pre-installed and Eclipse with GTK3 worked just fine. In order to switch to GTK2 to run the designer properly, a compatible version of webkitgtk needs to be installed first I believe.
Installing webkitgtk and enabling GTK2/Cairo allowed running Vaadin Designer in Eclipse and also ICE normally without the glitches related to Properties view in the Designer. There is a webkit2gtk which is newer than webkitgtk <- putting it here for the record.
