[ILUG] Maple link to Matlab under Linux X

[John Kinsella]

Hi,
a specialised topic this but the question is generic to some extent.

The new release (Maple V R 5.1) of Maple has a facility to communicate
with Matlab  which is a good thing.

Works fine for me when I run Maple in command line mode but when I run X
version of Maple & try 

>with(Matlab);


Maple crashes having displayed a Motif-type query window for a tiny
fraction of a second. The Matlab splash window gets displayed so Maple
clearly is talking to Matlab - however briefly.

Two questions:

1) Is there any way of capturing transients like this - I've tried
strace but it doesn't display contents of query window.
2) Any idea why Maple-Matlab link should work in text mode but not in X
mode.

Thanks,

John
