For the variable editor and more generally GUI, here's a list:

(blocker) bug #53409: Variable Editor QDockWidget panels not movable in 
KDE / Plasma Qt 4.4.8.7
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53409
[Now also includes Qt versions 5.6.1 through 5.7.0, thus making this one 
pretty important.]

(blocker) bug #53392: [GUI] Octave crashes when moving Documentation 
pane within GUI onto another pane
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53392

(blocker) bug #53276: GUI: undocked panes cannot be moved, or resized 
along upper border
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53276
[This is actually a fairly extensive change that re-activates the 
default float/dock mechanisms including drag/drop outside the GUI and 
title-bar double click float/dock.  Bug #53409 above is complicating 
testing for some KDE users.]

bug #52797: Undocked windows are small and of fixed size with KDE
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52797
[The fix for Bug #53276 above will also cover this bug.]

bug #53410: Variable Editor: Title bar doesn't highlight according to 
focus rules
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53410
[Will require testing to get user preference, but the current changeset 
attached should be adequate for release.  Without the patch, will get 
many complaints from users, after the patch might get a few complaints.]

bug #53443: Variable Editor: openvar VAR should show the tab on which 
the variable editor is
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53443
[Not top priority, but should be easy fix.]
