Eclipse SVN client (Subclipse) doesn't show status icons on files

I've been using Eclipse PHP since quite a while with Subclipse, but suddenly, the tiny icons which appear before the files in the PHP Explorer and Navigator don't appear any more.

I've already re-installed Eclipse and the Subclipse plugin, to no avail.

I am using Subclipse for SVN and the functionality seems to be working just fine, just the icons don't appear.

It's quite tough to manually remember which files I've edited/updated if I don't see these icons.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? (I am on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).)

Search the preference menu Window > Preferences for "Decoration", and make sure general > appearance > label decoration > SVN is checked. Also, check options under Team > SVN > Label Decorations. You may need to disable and re-enable these settings for them to work again.
