Now (maybe always), The problem isn't with ctrl+space alone. Is when eclipse must show the tooltip for an item on the code.
If I keep the mouse off the code (to avoid tooltips) I can use eclipse.
The package "gtkmm" is not part of Slackware. Therefore "slackpkg search *gtkmm*" will return nothing even if you have installed it. Slackpkg will only work with official Slackware packages.
You can not. Not without de-stabilizing your computer in any case.
Your messing around with upgrades/downgrades makes me wonder if you have installed a mix of stable Slackware and slackware-current packages. Such a mix is a recipe for disaster.
Regarding the slackpkg search, it could be installed (even via SBo) but if SBo is blacklisted from slackpkg (for example if you want clean-system to skip those), slackpkg will not find it.

The "slackpkg search" command will not find any package that is not part of the Slackware repository. Blacklisted or not.
The "slackpkg clean-system" command will remove all packages from your system that are not present in the Slackware repository. But you can blacklist packages (for instance based on their tag, like "SBo" or "alien") so that they will be left alone by "slackpkg clean-system".
