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
