program_name in ~/.octaverc

I find it somewhat confusing that 'program_name' returns different things
when it is invoked in ~/.octaverc and in a script. Specifically, if
~/.octaverc contains 'disp(program_name);' somewhere, I get

%> octave-cli -q ~/.octaverc
octave-cli
.octaverc

The first case is counterintuitive.

The reason I'm doing this is to check (in .octaverc) when octave runs
interactively.

THREE NEW IMAGE PROCESSING FUNCTIONS

Is FTGL still a dependency?

Is ftgl stil being used?  In the log, I see ...

summary:     configure.ac: remove  check for ftgl

... and I'm unable to find any mention of ftgl in the sources.

If it's no longer needed then I'll report that upstream to Macports and Fink.

Of course I have been thinking about that. 

The issue is that a number of Java calls have changed so much that just a
few if-else-endif constructs wouldn't do. I'd have to either add a lot of
those (significantly slowing down the code) or have two versions of the
relevant "low level" routines and choose which to invoke based on Octave
version (optionally at install time, again quite a bit of sorting out,
testing and invoking code bloat that would only be needed for a year or so).

I figured that to be too much hassle.

For now that is, maybe I'll add that stuff later on, but at present I don't
feel inclined to

Build octave inside any ide

Is there any idea to compile octave using any ide like qtcreator or
codeblocks or visual studio? Is this possible?

io-1.2.2 uploaded to package release forum

I've just uploaded io-1.2.2 to the package release forum.

This is a mere bug fix release, only working properly with the stable Octave
versions (up to 3.6.4, or for the devs, up til < 3.7.1). 
On Windows systems spreadsheet I/O may work with octave-3.7.1+ and the COM
interface (windows package & MS-Excel installed). But DESCRIPTION has to be
adapted manually then to overcome the dependency on octave < 3.7.1.

There's an io-1.3.1 package as well (upon next stable Octave release to
probably morph into io-2.0.0) for the current 3.7.1+ releases, fairly well
tested on Windows (only COM interface) and Linux (all Java-based interfaces
incl. OpenOffice/LibreOffice UNO).
I've got no clue yet how to disseminate that to the (I expect small) pool of
interested developers. Would my dropbox be a viable temporary solution? or
shall I post it here? (just 183 KB)

GUI file dialog freeze

I have a strange problem with the Octave GUI on Kubuntu 13.04 and it already existed on Kubuntu 12.10

If I want to open or save a file, the file dialog and Octave freezes.
At the same time I get this message in the Octave terminal:
"KGlobal::locale(): Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a valid main component instead
of a fake component, this usually means you
tried to call i18n related functions before your main component was created. You should not do that since it
most likely will not work"
But this seems not necessarily related to the freeze (see below)

If I wait a couple of minutes, I get on the Octave terminal:
QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.
QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running.

After this two messages, I can browse the files normally and open/save.

But this two processes that got killed seem to be important, because after this Octave behaves strange...
E.g.: Sometimes the entire GUI freezes or at least doesn't get updated if a script is running...
If I'm patient again, I get again:
"QProcess: Destroyed while process is still running."
And the GUI unfreezes again...

I tried a fresh Kubuntu 13.04 on a virtual machine and did *not* see this problems, except the
"KGlobal::locale()..." message, but no freezes... :(
And to make this even more weird. I have been seeing this problem on my machine at work for a long time (>half a
year) but had no time to look closer,
but recently my home machine got infected as well :(

I have no idea how to debug this problem or what is causing it...

Does anybody else have this issues?
Any ideas?
