When I open a xterm matlab start fine eventhough I get this message:
johs@ubuntu:~$ matlab
/home/johs/apps/matlab/bin/util/oscheck.sh: line 134: /lib/libc.so.6: Permission denied
but if I have this in my .fvwm2rc file:
#-------- Most popular programs
AddToMenu MyApps "MyApps Menu" Title
+ "matlab" Exec exec matlab
And I choose to restart fvwm and then click on matlab from the menu the
start image from matlab only appears for a second and then it disappears and the program does not start.
What am I missing?
Anything in your ~/.xsession-errros file?

this is what I get in the .xsession-errors file after I try to start matlab_

does not seem to be any errors
It seems you are starting matlab with no desktop. That is in terminal mode. Matlab will be reading stdin from fvwm (which will be empty) an print to .xession-errors (which is what you see).
I use “Exec exec xterm -e matlab -nodesktop -nosplash” to start matlab in an xterm. If you want to (slow) matlab desktop you may try to append -desktop to your command.
