Improve the display handling in wrapper scripts

Registered by Jarkko Ylipaavalniemi

Can the the handling of remote displays be improved in arabica_wrapper.sh and matlab_wrapper.sh shell scripts. If possible, could the scripts make some effort to connect to the user's current display and set the DISPLAY environment variable properly when they are running inside Sun Grid Engine in a remote host. Also, it would be great if the Matlab execution could be forked off when the MATLAB_EXITSTATUS is found in the output, and returning back to LONI Pipeline instead of waiting until Matlab can really exit.
