我在Ubuntu下是用的默认安装的，路径为/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/Matlab.desktop
写入以下内容
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Matlab
GenericName=Matlab 2010b
Comment=Matlab:The Language of Technical Computing
Exec=sh /usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/matlab -desktop
Icon=/usr/local/MATLAB/Matlab.png
Terminal=false
Categories=Development;Matlab;
图片
图片为png格式，是透明背景的哦，Linux可不像Windows，是支持透明背景的，貌似任何不太大的图片都可以作为图标使用。
这样，你就可以在左上角的Application菜单中的Office目录下找到Matlab啦。
你还可以在顶栏条处点右键选择”增加到面板“，然后选择“载入程序“，在Office目录下选择Matlab。Matlab的快捷方式就出现在顶栏啦!
下次启动Matlab，只需要一键点击落～爽!

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Matlab
GenericName=Matlab
Comment=Matlab:The Language of Technical Computing
Exec=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2010b/bin/matlab -desktop
Icon=/home/sun/.icons/matlab.png
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Development
And you need to save the file here:
/usr/share/applications/matlab.desktop
Finally, it would be the best if you can find a matlab icon and save it somewhere you prefer. (in my case, Icon=/home/sun/.icons/matlab.png)
A possible option is this one:
