Fedora 14 or so with:
  gcc (GCC) 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4)

Summary:

  PASS     11466
  FAIL         0
  XFAIL        7
  SKIPPED     38

The GUI seems to function well enough.

In the "Experimental GUI Info" page, it should read "the last major 
release of Octave" rather than "the last major release Octave". 
Alternatively, one could leave out "Octave" and just go with "the last 
major release" because it should be clear that Octave is being referred to.
