Hi Dan,

so it seems that a bit of it is working and another portion is not (rotating 
works, but zooming doesn't, right?). At least you plot into an X11 window as I 
see above. Well, then I don't know what is going on on your Mac, it depends on 
which buttons I use with the following command

  octave-3.0.3:1> setenv ('GNUTERM', 'x11')
  octave-3.0.3:2> sombrero (25)

mouse button left: rotate; mouse button middle: zoom; mouse button right: no 
action.

The popup of the X11 window titled 'gnuplot' is ok.
