You can have qt widgets even when running from the CLI (use the --no-gui
option instead of the octave-cli executable).
Actually memory wise, you will use more memory using the java dialogs
because that requires a JVM running. Just check the memory being used
after you call listdlg in "octave-cli" vs "octave --no-gui".
