Eclipse fails due to the cairo update from 1.12.2 to 1.12.4

  commit dbfcc caused the failure

In the console you can see such traces, I'm not sure whether this is
related.

  Fontconfig warning: "/nix/store/i7gz1hrlrpvaz0dr3qj8hhnqx3rg60rn-fontconfig-2.8.0/etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf", line 75: Having multiple <family> in <alias> isn't supported and may not works as expected
  The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
  This probably reflects a bug in the program.
  The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
    (Details: serial 1398 error_code 2 request_code 25 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
     backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
