Hi.

I'm using Arch Linux x86_64. When trying to run matlab with the glnx86 flag, I get the error message:

Unable to initialize com.mathworks.mwswing.MJStartup
Fatal Error on startup: Failure loading desktop class

But when running with the nodisplay flag, everything works great. Do you have any sugggestions to what I can do to fix it?

pacman -S lib32-libxtst
