Eclipse 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10

When using Eclipse 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.10 you will discover display problems in some dialog boxes. The problem is the combination of Compiz and Eclipse. To work around this problem simply create a start script in the eclipse folder (/opt/eclipse in my case) with the following content:
#! /bin/sh
#
# Fix display problem on Ubuntu 9.10
#

export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true
/opt/eclipse/eclipse

This will fix the display problems.
