The infinite "Welcome to Octave" window seems to be caused by

Whoohoo!  Thanks Ed.

The first thing I notice is that launching Octave creates an X window and the GUI docks to that Window instead of the screen. No problem, just undock the GUI...

But I'm having some problems. When I type commands in the Command Window nothing seems to happen, until I move the window position bar up and down then the results appear.

The GUI window doesn't behave so well with the desktop. Sometimes when I grab the top bar to move the window it gets stuck on the screen. Sometimes it doesn't move higher than some other window that had previous focus.

I can't seem to change the width of the command window either.

I think all these problems might go back to the Qt build and all those warnings I was getting.

Well, got it to run.  That's a start.

Dan
