Eclipse buttons not working on Ubuntu Karmic Koala
Posted by javier ramirez on December 23, 2009
Lately I was experiencing a strange behavior when working with Eclipse/RadRails. Some of the buttons didn’t work anymore. I could click on them, but they’d just appear as selected, without performing any actions. I had to use the enter key to actually click on the button.
Since I had run an update some days ago, I was blaming some new version of one of the installed plugins.. but I was wrong.
Today I read this post where it explains how to fix it. It’s a conflict between Eclipse and the latest versions of GTK+. By setting the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS variable to use native windows, everything is back to normal.
And they lived happily ever after (or until the next major release anyway)

So how did you set the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS variable to use native windows? :)

It’s in the post I was linking in the article ;)
anyway, the trick is to set the GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS to true, like this
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
good luck!
