As a result of the change above, I suspect octave is not forked anymore,

Does CTRL-O work when you focus another widget than the embedded
terminal widget?

No, I don't think it was working properly. 

Ben, what is the behavior on OS X systems?  Do the keyboard shortcuts work?

I can go back to forking and calling setsid on Unix systems and just
using the ioctl call on OS X.

At the very least, we should at least check the return value of ioctl.
