Details:

Octave is not able to show any plots when plotted in wayland session. I have
tried this on Arch Linux in the gnome desktop environment running with
wayland. The plot controls show up, but are unresponsive as the plot window is
just filled with a black background. Resizing the plot window just leads to
weird artefacts.

This behaviour does not happen when logged in with XOrg, although initially
one has to resize the plot window in order to see the plot. Any subsequent
plot works fine in Xorg except the initial plot.

However plotting using octave-cli works under both wayland and XOrg. The only
issue is that it uses the old plotting interface instead of the modern one.
