Is the qt backend still under development? I checked 
https://github.com/goffioul/QtHandles but last time it was updated is 4 months 
ago...

I tried to test it, but after compiling and everything, octave crashed on

Sorry to being off-topic here, I think I should open a new thread, could you 
tell me the most appropriate list to do it so?

Thanks,
