Unfortunaly I don't know. Gedit uses mimetypes to determine which syntax 
highlighter to use, but I don't think Octave sources have a mimetype. 
But if anybody knows the mimetype of Octave source files, I'll be happy 
to fix the syntax highligt file for Gedit.

I hadn't noticed that, so I'll look into it, but I think you're right - 
 it sounds like a hard problem :-)
