It usually pays to not only look in the mailing lists (did you? also in
maintainers list?) but also in the bug tracker,
   http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave.
It may help to click "Display criteria" and set "Open/Closed" to "any"
otherwise you'll only see the unresolved bugs and thus no solutions.

For this issue, see e.g.,
   http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?37161
Essentially the file qt-settings has to be copied to ~/.config/octave

Thank you for pointing this out. But the workaround isn't entirely clear to me, do I have to copy the file before compilation?

Best wishes
