Fixing Eclipse in Ubuntu 9.10

Problem:

Inability to click buttons using the mouse and instead having to highlight them first and then hitting ‘space’ or ‘enter’ for the selection.

Solution:

Create a script that will be used to load eclipse using the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS.

1) Create an empty file called eclipse_gdk_fix.sh

2) Insert the following code

#!/bin/sh
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /path/to/eclipse

3) Make the script executable

chmod a+x eclipse_gdk_fix.sh

… That’s all to it !

Wa Allahu A’lam.
