It's a strange failure mode, I would not know where the problem is.  I
do 

plot (something)
graphics_toolkit fltk
close all
plot (something)

and everything looks nice: the window appears, if I plot something else
it gets updated.  But it does not go away.  If I call close, or close
all, nothing happens.  If then I plot something again, the window gets
selected, the interior becomes freezed, and the frame does not go away,
not even if I close it by pressing on the close button.  Even changiong
to gnuplot (which works) and back again to fltk changes nothing: the
only way to make the window disappears seems to be closing Octave.

Before freezing, interaction with the winodw only works at the next
plot: resizing or pressing the G button has effect only on next plot
command.

At one point the window apparently captured mouse and keyboard input, so
I caould not interact with X any more and had to restart it.  So I am
not keen on using it again nless for experimenting :)
