I have had this problem for a while as well - I was hoping it would go away when we upgraded recently, but it has not. I've seen it on RHEL 5/R2009b, RHEL 5/R2006b, and RHEL 4/2006b. My machines are 64 bit, with ATI cards. I can usually put the figure on the same monitor as the command window as a workaround, but a real fix would be nice.

(i) Kill your ~/.matlab directory.

(ii) After starting matlab again you see the IDE and the window with the
graphic output on the same monitor.

Now, DO NOT move the window to the other monitor.

Maybe better, dock the graphic window to the IDE.
On the top of the graphic window is a button DESKTOP to do this.

(iii) If you get the error message again, repeat step (i).

Step (i) seems important. This also explains, why some of my fellows here have the impression, that older versions do not have this failure.
