When using certain gui features of spoon (like editing code), spoon will immediatly crash with the error
So we are running on
Apparently eclipse has a known issue with this kernel (and later ones). Eclipse has fixed this issue with later releases, however the internal
version of eclipse for our PDI still suffers the crash.
A workaround that I have discovered is passing the line "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false" through the opt in spoon.sh.
This works for my current version, but I am unaware of any side effects (if any at all).
My questions are then,
If it will be an issue...
Code:

My questions are then,
- will this be an issue in future versions of PDI?
If it will be an issue...
- Will this workaround cause us any unforseen headaches?
- Is there some other way to fix this issue that I have not discovered?
