Eclipse 3.5 Wizard Buttons Do Not Work with GTK2 2.1.8

The wizard buttons in Eclipse 3.5 Galileo do not work with gtk2 2.18. You can get around it by pressing the Enter key, but that’s still a pain.

The solution is to create a file that starts eclipse with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

Example, create a file starteclipse with the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
/opt/eclipse/eclipse
