I came across this bug in Matlab R2008a and R2009b under Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10. The application may disappear from gnome panel if you minimize the window. If you use Alt-Tab and show desktop Ctrl-Alt-d the problem does not show up.

Switching from Compiz to Metacity
$ metacity --replace
fixes the problem for me. Compiz provides nice desktop effects, so I think going back to Metacity is not a solution: the solution is to fix Compiz.
