Patch which works for me

The fix (workaround) of bug #198639 is not working for me in my current GNOME 3 environment; still Ubuntu 12.04, using gnome-shell 3.4.1, but $DESKTOP_SESSION is 'gnome' rather than 'gnome-shell' for whatever reason.

Attaching a fix which works in my environment - restores correct mouse behavior - but which might cause issues for people using other versions of Gnome (I do not know).

Filing as a blocking issue rather than reopening the original to make it easier to track, since that was verified as fixed for 7.2.

Another workaround is to change the DESKTOP_SESSION in the launcher, like this:

env DESKTOP_SESSION="gnome-shell" /bin/sh "/path/to/netbeans"

Comment 7 Tomas Danek 2012-08-31 10:17:32 UTC 
it does not seem to cause any regression in menus under Gnome 2.32.1.. and works in Gnome 3. Verified. Please backport.

Comment 10 Jesse Glick 2012-09-04 17:30:22 UTC 
Seems OK in trunk, though I do not see the "installed #198639 workaround" log message when using my normal userdir (I do see it when using a test userdir). Ubuntu 12.04 w/ all updates, GNOME 3 Shell, JDK 7u6.
Comment 11 Tomas Danek 2012-09-10 14:03:32 UTC 
verified the same way in 7.2 patch1
