I've upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 today and same problem. Everyone seems to fix their problem with: env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY= path/to/eclipse and editing eclipse.desktop to add the same to the Exec line, but I'm still having this issue.
Netbeans (also Java) doesn't even start. I must say that just after upgrading Ubuntu, I tried to open Eclipse, but there was an error saying Java was not installed. It worked perfectly in Ubuntu 13.04 though. So I've followed the steps provided here to reinstall Java: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html and then Eclipse starts with this annoying bug. The splash screen looks also buggy, displaying part of it repeated just below like a pattern. Please I need this working. Any help would be really appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208019 Title: Eclipse menus doesn't show up in Saucy Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-gtk-module” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1.

It worked fine on 13.04, so I'm not sure what changed.
