2.) a new preferences setting to restore a previous session

What it does is, it reopens all tabs from the previous session.
Additionally it suppresses an error message about the missing file if it may have been deleted in the meantime.
Furthermore in case of a failed loaf_file it will restore tab-focus.

Could this be made consistent with the Matlab desktop() function?
From Matlab  help desktop:
>> help desktop
 DESKTOP Start and query the MATLAB Desktop.
    DESKTOP starts the MATLAB Desktop using the configuration
    stored the last time the Desktop was run, or the default
    configuration if no configuration file is present.
 
    DESKTOP -NORESTORE doesn't restore the configuration from the last
    time the desktop was run.
 
    USED = DESKTOP('-INUSE') returns whether or not the Desktop is
    currently in use.  It does not start the Desktop.
 

I didn't know that function, but it is not available in Octave (as far as I can see).

I also think that the integration of GUI and command line is very different between Matlab and Octave??

So my guess is that at the present time it is not possible?
