Description

When using Subclipse, Eclipse freezes if the usage of gnome-keyring by
subversion is enabled.  I found a workaround at the following link:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-3a1d2d3c54791d2d751794e5d6645f1d77d95b32

The link states in order for Eclipse to work, the password managers need to be
disabled by setting in ~/.subversion/config:
[auth]
password-stores = 

If this is a bug in subversion rather than Subclipse/Eclipse/whatever, I would
expect that the workaround would not be necessary, and Eclipse would not freeze.
