export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

To make it permanent you can add this entry into the /etc/environment file or create a eclipse.sh file and add it before calling /path/to/eclipse

Ubuntu 9.10
~/.profile -> export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 [failed]
env GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /path/to/eclipse [failed]
/etc/environment -> export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 [failed]

Gnome unsets this particular variable whenever he can. Is there anyway to forbid gnome unsetting this variable?
