OK, since I use a Mac I just tried the whole thing in a Parallels 
Desktop 5 virtual machine (same configuration).

This time, sombrero and shading interp seemed to work, and glxgears, 
etc. showed correctly.

However, when I ran my Matlab code, which uses the uicontrol function, I 
get the following output:

octave:6> mosaic_GUI
error: [java] org.octave.graphics.PropertyException: property not found 
- Units
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: evaluating argument list element number 1
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/jhandles-0.3.5/__jhandles_get.m 
at line 41, column 5
error:   /home/penyuan/Downloads/photo_mosaic/mosaic_GUI.m at line 7, 
column 12

BTW, "mosaic_GUI" is the name of the Matlab program I am trying to run.

Is this a limitation on jhandles part? Or is it still a virtual machine 
issue? Is vmware the only one that is known to work?

P.S. Here is the output from glxinfo, in case it is helpful:
