When I install a fresh Eclipse, I can open the program, but when I attempt to create a new blank cpp file or open a file, the program stalls, I get a popup as seen below, and the terminal from which I launched the application looks like the 2nd attached pic. Can anyone help me with this? I'm not sure how to interpret these errors.

I solved this myself. In case this comes in useful to anyone else, the answer was found here
Essentially, before launching eclipse I type:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
The default value seems to be xim, and apparently is responsible for a number of issues. A small script could be made to automatically do this assignment, and then call eclipse.
This solved my issue.
