Thanks for the reply. But the solution suggested in
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-A458TE/?solution=1-A458TE

does not help. I still have problems with Matlab desktop, Editor window, figure window, array editor window.
The menu bars, toolbars etc on any of these windows are not visible, BUT if i click on the menu bar items, toolbar items, then relevant text/dialog box seems to pop-up.

But if i dock any of these windows, they become visible. If i undock them again, they become invisible .
I don't understand how this works.
I am using 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 
Hope somebody has an idea on how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance
