I think Eclipse is a Java application, not GTK. Only GTK apps are supported as present (as far as I am aware)

Eclipse uses SWT, and SWT on Linux uses GTK+ – Op De Cirkel Dec 16 '11 at 2:56

I have got Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and KDE 4.8.5. I tried doing the following:

Add the line

export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 to the file ~/.xprofile (create one, if it doesn't exist).

Afterwards logged out and logged in.
