Describe the bug
When a modal dialog box is open, the default behavior under Gnome is to gray out the background window. This was the (expected) behavior on old versions of the Eclipse IDE (up to Eclipse 4.4/SWT 3.103). However, more recent versions of Eclipse/SWT (starting from Eclipse 4.5/SWT 3.104 up to the latest version) seem to change this behavior, and the background is no longer grayed out when a modal dialog is open.
To Reproduce
Open a recent version Eclipse under Linux/Gnome and open the "About Eclipse" modal dialog: the background is not grayed out.
Expected behavior
The background should be grayed out when a modal dialog box is open to be consistent with the Gnome look'n feel.
