Re: When will the new GUI be ready?

    Hi Israel,
    
    Managed to download and install OK.  I first tried it out in
    Cinnamon, which I normally use.  It works fine, except that when I
    try to detatch the editor, I couldn't resize the window.  (Using an
    external monitor).

    Logged out and logged back into Unity, and had no such problem.

    Otherwise it seems great.  One feature request:  a big red "kill"
    button.  I couldn't figure out how to stop the process, and googling
    "octave kill process" didn't turn up a working command line
    equivalent.
    
    Anyway, thanks a lot.  This is a great contribution.
    
    Best,
    Andrew

It is? Neat. Israel, did you fix the race conditions it had? I'll be
inspecting your patches later today.

Btw, just by way of comparison, here is a success story for using
Python for scientific computing and making students install Ubuntu
instead of trying to get everything to work on Windows:
