Eclipse with Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)
I had some problems running eclipse 3.5 with Ubuntu 9.10 (Gnome 2.28.0 and GTK+ 2.18). When I clicked on an “open window” button nothing happens.
So after some googling I found that the problem is related with gtk. In version 2.18, GDK has been changed to use client-side windows.
I added the following start script for eclipse and the problem seems to be gone.
#!/bin/bash GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /home/mr/bin/eclipse-3.5/eclipse
