Oh I really hate the new gmail interface...

OK, I had the time so I created a brand new VM from the 64 bit
kubuntu-alternate CD. After doing apt-get update && apt-get
dist-upgrade -y && apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras eclipse
virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 and then a reboot, everything works here.
Eclipse pops up with the standard icedtea w/o a problem. I don't have
the canberra-gtk-module installed, the only two things I have here
are:

hakan at kubuntutest:~$ dpkg -l|grep canb
ii  libcanberra-pulse                     0.28-0ubuntu11
            PulseAudio backend for libcanberra
ii  libcanberra0                          0.28-0ubuntu11
            a simple abstract interface for playing event sounds
