I was testing Eclipse with the default theme. I think the behaviour of
the theme is correct. It was designed to make a blend degree from
titlebar to main toolbar, through menubar. The thing is that Eclipse is
not using at all standard UI widgets. I mean:

- the icons are self made and doesn't respect the environment GTK sizes
(PCManFM toolbar uses another size and another glyphs, in this case), as
well as those separators (windows95 style, by the way) that are not
present at the GTK toolkit. That's the reason the pressed status on them
overlap the toolbar end.

- the curved pseudo-toolbar at the right, or the tabs from the content
boxes, are too uncompliant with the GTK (test it Ambiance, you'll see
they doesn't change at all), they only adapt its colour.

- also, the close, min and max controls on the subviews are really odd
(we already have that kind of controls on our systems, there's no need
for using more). This affects frames too (a really redesigned GTK class
in new GTK3 themes thanks to Unico engine).

So, my theory is that's no problem at all with Eclipse. It just doesn't
follow the XDG recommendations on environment design.
