GTK2 2.18.2-1 Breaks Eclipse 3.5.1

A recent update performed installed GTK2 2.18.2-1 and this totally screwed up Eclipse. Mouse events and focus just don't work properly in some dialogue user interfaces. See bugs filed for Archlinux and Ubuntu for more info. A fix has also been suggested - set 'export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true' in a terminal and run eclipse from there. This works on Archlinux as well as Ubuntu.
