Matlab shortcut
Weird problem. Any time I create a shortcut on the KDE taskbar or desktop to open Matlab it doesn't work, but when I start it from the command line, it starts with no problem. The weird thing is that I created a Matlab shortcut on another user's desktop, and it worked with no problem -- the stupid thing is that this user isn't licensed to use Matlab, so I have to start it as the licensed user (using kdesu I presume), which means they have to enter my password!
