This sounds like (in behavior anyway) a bug from early on when the GUI would fail because a default-qt-settings file was missing or bad.

there is default-qt-settings.in file in libgui subfolder, and the same in .build/libgui. I attach it -- it seems to be correct.
there is also qt-setting file in ~/.config/octave/qt-settings. I've attached it too.

I propose to create an empty qt-settings file with which octave should
be able to start up.

I've tried to delete all content of this file and then start octave again, but it didn't help.
But octave has wrote something to this file (attached -- qt-settings_new).

If I completely delete this file, octave shows the wizard, creates qt-settings file with default content and nothing else happens.

But src/octave-cli runs octave in terminal.

Plotting is fine?

I've tried a simple plot. It's fine on installed octave, but on built sources it says:

octave-cli:1> x = -10:0.1:10;
octave-cli:2> plot (x, sin (x));
error: 'plot' undefined near line 1 column 1

I'm not very familiar with octave. If more tests has to be done, tell about it.
