To avoid having to manually set the environmental variable each time you need to use a program affected by the bug, a simple solution is to create a bash script, and run that instead, e.g. touch AptanaFixed chmod +x AptanaFixed Then edit the file and add: #!/bin/sh export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /home/(your username)/Aptana\ Studio\ 2.0/AptanaStudio Create a launcher or link and you are good to go.
