Eclipse (Luna) shows blank widgets throughout

I'm running the latest Eclipse (Luna, CDT edition) and am having a strange problem where many widgets throughout various menus are blank. I have tried updating from an earlier version of eclipse, downloading a fresh version, and using new user accounts with empty workspaces, but nothing seems to populate these windows. See below for an example of one such blank window.

Could there be a missing library that is needed to update these widgets? No errors appear on the command line when starting eclipse.

OS: Fedora 19, KDE 4.11.5
Java: 1.8.0_25
Eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1)
Eclipse Build id: 20140925-1800

Example blank window: Blank Eclipse Installation Details window

I had the same problem. The fix for the tab height issue helps since its a GTK2 vs GTK3 issue.

If you have an eclipse.desktop file you could start eclipse as:

Exec=env SWT_GTK3=0 /path_to_eclipse/eclipse

or use:

#!/bin/bash
export SWT_GTK3=0
/path_to_eclipse/eclipse
