Random Problems opening Matlab (Java based GUI)

[Olivier Fourdan]

Hi

I hardly see how this could be a problem in Xfce. I think it's a bug in
Matlab that gets triggered in Xfce, but unfortunately this is a
commercial closed source application, and an expensive one, so there is
really no chance that I can even put my hands on it.

Sorry, that will stay unfixed unless you ask Matlab, or try to
investigate by yourself.

Cheers,
Olivier.
