Random Problems opening Matlab (Java based GUI)

[forfan forfan]

I am not blaming on xfce.
But with my experience, when matlab runs with
GUI, it always cracked under linux (without GUI,
it works perfect). 
Maybe that's java's problem, I just hope xfce could
support java better than others.

I have never blamed anything, just want to report
something.
