QuickTip: Fix Eclipse Galileo buttons on Ubuntu 9.10
published on Mon, 12/21/2009 - 12:08
There's a nasty upstream bug in GTK present in Ubuntu 9.10 that makes Eclipse Galileo all but unusable -- specifically it makes clicking many buttons with the mouse just stop working. You can use tab and spacebar to make it work, but that's not much of a workaround. All you need to do is set an environment variable before starting Eclipse:
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true

Focus
There are times when focus is not set as I'd expect, either. For example, when hitting ctrl+f within the text editor. I expect focus to be in the find dialog, but it sometimes remains in the editor.
