Is currently in my matlab.el file, and if I put the -nodesktop flag first,
Matlab will not run because the -glnx86 flag doesn't get used for some
reason.  If I put the -glnx86 flag first, Matlab will run, but it runs in
the desktop mode which doesn't work with the emacs matlab-shell mode.  I
think this is a a syntax error.  Does anyone know lisp well enough to help?


Thanks,
