FVWM and Matlab

Configuration General Questions
1

Hi!

I have a problem running Matlab under fvwm. The window is not listed in the WindowList and if I have Matlab focused, switch to another workspace and back another window is focused. I also have to click the window twice to make it focused.

I’m running fvwm-2.5.26 and Matlab R2008b

Any help would be appreciated.
