Details:

Now that Octave opens a GUI I think that it would be preferable that the GUI
persists after doubling clicking an m-file in the file explorer in Ubuntu (and
other applicable systems). For me, and maybe others, when I double click an
m-file I'm mostly interested in inspecting its text not executing the m-file.

Couple other notes of this unexpected behavior:

I think double clicking an m-file, when Octave is associated with that m-file
by default by the operating system, the file should simply open the octave gui
and display the file in the editor. If the user wants to execute the file they
would use a gui button or matlab command.
