I am encountering the following peculiar problem. I use the "MiniButtons" and
use one of them to start Matlab using
*MiniButtons - matlab32c_icon.xpm Exec exec matlab
When I do this I have the unfortunate effect that using control-c at the
Matlab command line, which should stop the currently executing Matlab command,
kills the X server and all programs running under X.
If instead I use
*MiniButtons - matlab32c_icon.xpm Exec exec xterm -e matlab
everything works fine, except of course I have an extra xterm hanging around.
The same behavior occurs if I invoke matlab from a menu.
The people at Mathworks (home of Matlab) are trying to reproduce and then
understand this problem, but so far there has been no success. Does this ring
a bell with any of you?
