title: Disable Matlab focus stealing, without modifying Matlab script
body: <p>I hava Matlab script running in the background. It keeps popping up pogress bar windows as the computation progresses. This is very annoying. </p>
  
  <p>Problem is I did not write the Matlab script myself, and it is a very long and complicated piece of code that I don't want to mess with. So how can I prevent Matlab from stealing focus, without modifying the Matlab script? Hopefully some Matlab setting will let me do this, without modifying the script itself.</p>
  
  <p>In case it matters, my PC is running Xubuntu.</p>
