Revision history [back]

The problem turned out to be the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS. I have set this variable in my .bashrc to circumvent problems with Eclipse (see http://blogs.gurulabs.com/dax/2009/10/what-gdk-native.html for a more in-depth explanation). Without this variable, the interface shows up just fine.

However, a colleague of mine has set the same variable and it causes no problems for him. He uses Ubuntu Lucid, though.
