Does SetWMName hack work when you are starting the MATLAB on local machine?
No, neither remote nor local.
Are you pressing the keys which set the WM name before the start the MATLAB?
Yes, did that.
Once the JVM inside which the MATLAB is running has been started, changing the name of the WM does not affect this particular JVM (it only checks which WM is used once on startup).
I just rebooted my machine to make sure no VM is sleeping somewhere - but still the same problem :-(
If this still does not work, can you please try adding AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit line to the ~/.ssh/environment and make sure that it gets into the environment of the remote machine at startup of your ssh session.
That for some reason does not work, but I can of course do an 'export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit' in the ssh shell before I call 'matlab' (I suppose that should make no difference to the ~/.ssh/environment approach?). But then MATLAB freezes during startup - I cannot close the splash screen using Mod-C nor kill matlab using Ctrl-C on the terminal running the ssh session. Only Mod-C killing the terminal works (or probably a SIGKILL to matlab, but I haven't tried that). - Christian
