I've had a similar problem with a different proprietary application, it
used XSetInputFocus() whenever it wanted my attention, very annoying :)
If this is what it's doing, afaik there is no way around it. I solved
it with a preload library, for example, try this:
$ cat libmatlab.c
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
int XSetInputFocus(Display *d, Window w, int i, Time t) { return 0;}
$ gcc -shared -fPIC libmatlab.c -o libmatlab.so
$ LD_PRELOAD=`pwd`/libmatlab.so matlab -nodesktop
If it works, you could create a wrapper script to set LD_PRELOAD before
starting matlab (dont have matlab here to test).
Hope this helps, Tavis.
