It looks like it's a problem with Xmonad. I fired up an Xnest with fvwm and MATLAB works fine there. And Xnest with wmii and MATLAB works as well.
Is the MATLAB gui written in Java? There is a known bug in the Java windowing code which prevents it from working correctly with non-reparenting window managers like xmonad.
Yes, the Matlab GUI is Java.
Another known workaround that often (but not always, for unknown reasons) works is
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
before starting Java programs.
Ok, great. That worked for me. Thanks. _______________________________________________
