Maybe you can do a "trick" to not have a terminal window. How about running the MATLAB program from a kind of "Start:" dialog. I know it existed in XFCE 3. Create an icon for it, and as the command line, enter the MATLAB starting command. Or does MATLAB explicitlely require to run from out of a terminal session? > I don't mind that the Terminal window opens whenever I run MATLAB, I > would just like to be able to hide it each time. Check for some kind of "minimize after start" option in XFCE 4. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
