OK, I see a "Welcome to Octave!" window.  Thanks.  (May not have been 
the correct solution though, read on.)

...

I compiled octave as root and get the following

./run-octave
**
GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: 
(connection->initialization_error == NULL)
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-workspace'...
save to `octave-workspace' complete

So, instead I did a ./run-octave as a user rather than root and I get 
the Welcome to Octave! screen, but when I press "Finish" it seems the 
app can't save settings to a file so the same screen reappears.  It is 
an infinite loop and not even pressing the window close button [X] quits 
Octave.  The same behavior happens no matter where I launch from.  I've 
installed Octave and same issue.

I launch with "./run-octave --no-gui" and Octave runs fine.  BTW, there 
is no documentation in "./run-octave --help" indicating that "--no-gui" 
is an option.

I've a feeling my QScintilla isn't up to date.  I'll try looking for 
that instead of hacking find-dialog.cc.
