I'm running Matlab R2007a in Ubuntu Feisty with Beryl, and I
have several problems.  Firstly, I can't get matlab to run
unless I run it as an application in a terminal.  Otherwise
I receive the error:
 Failed to start the Desktop: Failure loading desktop class

I also get this error when I start Matlab:
Exception in thread "Thread-7" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

I also get this error when trying to run the editor:
??? Error using ==> edit>handleError at 462
Failed to open editor. Load of Java classes failed.

Finally, I am unable to see toolbars above the command
window when running Matlab with Beryl.
