Bug#400808: eclipse doesn't start when kdialog is installed

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.1-0
Severity: important

Hi,

the eclipse script tries to run $DIALOG --warning, which doesn't work
when kdialog is installed as kdialog doesn't have such an argument.
kdialog only knows --warningyesno, --warningcontinuecancel and
--warningyesnocancel.

So if somebody doesn't have mozilla-browser installed, which is the case
here because at some point I needed xulrunner or libxul-dev, eclipse
doesn't start at all.
