Have been experiencing the same problem!

Originally, after double-clicking the Matlab icon, it would start
correctly. Then it doesn't work anymore.
I verified it's a clean & complete install.

It appears to be some kind of search path problem, or related
to launching X11. If I use StartMatlab
(/Applications/MATLAB_R2007b/bin/maci/StartMATLAB.app)
it works just fine.
