I installed QtOctave from the repositories (Linux Mint 12, i.e., Ubuntu 
repositories) some days ago over a compiled Octave 3.4.3. Contrary to 
what happened to ahowe42, my QtOctave called my installed Octave 3.4.3 
(it did not install and called an older Octave version). I only used 
QTOctave one day but not because I noticed any bugs, simply because I 
see no big advantages in a GUI. However, I can say that to my experience 
QtOctave works perfectly fine with Octave 3.4.3... I would only say that 
this GUI is merely missing hotkeys to comment and indent text blocks, no 
more than that... Actually, when I read about the new GUI in this list I 
did not realized that we were talking here about something different to 
QtOctave... Thus, I wonder (really simply out of curiosity): Why to make 
a new GUI from scratch considering there is already a lot of work behind 
QtOctave? Cheers, Ismael.
