Details:

The "edit" command does not seem to work when in GUI mode.
It works as expected if I start octave with the --no-gui option.

I use the following in my ~/.octaverc:
edit mode async;
EDITOR("/usr/bin/geany %s");

I have also tried without specifying the editor, in which case it was set to
"vim" by default.

In both cases, with "--no-gui", running "edit FUNCTION" opened the FUNCTION.m
file in the set editor.
In GUI mode, nothing at all happens and the edit command returns no error.

I also tried changing settings in edit->preferences->editor from the GUI
without any success.

This used to work in Octave 3.8.1.

OS: Kubuntu 14.10
Octave 4.0.0 compiled from source.
Octave 3.8.1 installed from distribution repositories.
