No, neither remote nor local.

Yes, did that.

I just rebooted my machine to make sure no VM is sleeping somewhere - 
but still the same problem :-(

That for some reason does not work, but I can of course do an 'export 
AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit' in the ssh shell before I call 'matlab' (I suppose 
that should make no difference to the ~/.ssh/environment approach?). 
But then MATLAB freezes during startup - I cannot close the splash 
screen using Mod-C nor kill matlab using Ctrl-C on the terminal running 
the ssh session.  Only Mod-C killing the terminal works (or probably a 
SIGKILL to matlab, but I haven't tried that).
