Sorry about reviving this very old thread. I finally managed to get
gtk-server to work. I went with gtk-server since, among all suggested
options, it seemed to be the simplest to set-up and control from
inside an octave script.

Since it is not completely trivial to get to work, I put a
well-commented (IMO) demo here:

http://bitbucket.org/buo/octave-gtk-demo

I would like to suggest that, if somebody takes the time to write
similar GUI demos with some of the other alternatives (Gambas,
pyoctave, etc.), then we could put all demos together in a repository
somewhere; I think this would be a very useful resource. I'd be glad
to set up and maintain a bitbucket repo with the demos.

Also, I'd welcome any comments and improvements on my demo. In
particular, I would like to get the script to generate plots inside a
gtk canvas instead of on independent windows as it does now. This
shoud be possible but I still have no idea how.
