However, switching to fltk appears to work ... well almost. The plot doesn't render properly.
Can you elaborate on how it renders?

To underlying windows each contribute to the result in a rather strange way. The resulting figure includes various sections of my email client, and some things I don't recognize. In addition the following line is displayed in the terminal.

A picture is attached.
This looks like an OpenGL and/or fltk problem. The best way to debug this would be to run the ftlk-opengl test programs gl_overlay and glpuzzle and see if they work. You should have them in the test subdir of the fltk sources. If you did not install fltk from source it's a problem :(
Another possible solution: I know than on OSX, after compiling a fltk app, you should run
ftlk-config --post application_exe_file
on your application_exe_file. I am not sure what is the exe file here -- octave or the fltk_backend.oct file. Maybe you should try both. Also, you can just look at fltk-config (it's a bash script) and see what --post does (in my linux PC it does nothing)
