I'm running a "server" machine (Mac Pro, OS X 10.5.5) and running MATLAB remotely from this machine via ssh and the command line. 

In previous versions of MATLAB, I would run 

matlab -nojvm -nodesktop

and still get graphics forwarding via X11 to the client desktop. Most importantly, I was able to manipulate handle graphics in order to change figures remotely. 

R2008B gives the message that nojvm is now deprecated, which can be found officially here:

However, this is a huge problem for those of us who run MATLAB remotely on OS X machines and need graphics on the client. Specifying the -display switch doesn't work. Graphics simply aren't forwarded any longer of X11. Additionally, handle graphics do not appear to be supported. Is there a solution to this problem, or will there be?
