I have the same problem with matlab 2007b and Ubuntu Gutsy. This is apparently a bug in the version of java shipped with(in) matlab.
AWT_TOOLKIT="Mtoolkit" matlab doesn't solve the problem, but making matlab use ubuntu's own java solves it. Just launch matlab with export MATLAB_JAVA=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/ && matlab -- Matlab GUI does not work when "desktop effects" are activated in feisty fawn https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
