Since it's a very small issue, but which anybody can understand (like
choosing the color of your very hi-tech product),  it opens the
opportunity to really nitpick :

I chose the format "octave: figure 1" because from what I remember
from my matlab days (~ 10 years ago) the figure title was "matlab:
figure 1".

Since many times the window title will be referenced in the window
manager menu/taskbar where space is at a premium, maybe it is better
to make the title and put the most important info first. i.e.:
"Figure 1, Octave" or maybe even the extreme "F1, Octave"
Or maybe, as in all hard choices,  we can just defer the
responsibility and allow the user to customize.
