How to associate .fig file in linux?

I am trying to associate .fig files with matlab in linux (Ubuntu 10.10), such that I can open them by double-clicking the file.
I'm able to open files from the command line with "matlab -r "open('filename.fig')"".
The closest I've been able to get with the "open with" configuration is to have matlab start, the figure pop up, and then matlab and the figure shutdown. This was with the file being associated with "matlab -r "open(%f)""
Any tips would be appreciated.

Please keep in mind that if you open() a .fig file by double-clicking, you cannot run its associated code. .fig files have associated .m files and you must run the .m file in order to do initialization needed by the .fig file.

Hi Paul!
You are on the right track.
The right command for "open with" is matlab -desktop -r "open(%f)"

The right command for "open with" is matlab -desktop -r "open(%f)"
It worked after installing matlab-support from package manager.
but Each m file is opened in separate window. How to make it open is same running instance.
