I noticed that after installing cdt, Eclipse always loads the default workspace. The workspace listed in the config.ini in osgi.instance.area.default. Eclipse does not ask which workspace to open regardless if Prompt for workspace on startup is set or not.

How do I force Eclipse to ask which workspace to load on startup?

I had the same problem with indigo on linux 3.0 X86_64: After runnning eclipse -clean everything went back to normal.
