Eclipse Galileo click problem on Ubuntu 9.10

Solution
This is a known bug (bug 291257) with Eclipse 3.5 and GTK+ 2.8 (fixed in Eclipse 3.6). The workaround is to set the `GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS` environment variable to `true` before to start Eclipse.
I use the following startup script for Eclipse:
#!/bin/sh
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/mozilla/
export ECLIPSE_HOME=/opt/IBM/eclipse
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true # workaround for Karmic - http://bit.ly/T8MIc
$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
The important part is the line `export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true`.
Problem
I've just upgrade my Ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 and I'm experimenting a very annoying problem with Eclipse Galileo. The problem is that Eclipse doesn't catch some button clicks. For example, I've tried to install a plugin and I clicked on next, and then nothing happened. I didn't have the same problem before the upgrade of my Ubuntu version.
