Well, it looks like "pthread_mutex" did not work here :-)

I was just thinking to release tk_octave-0.3 today. Take a look at 
http://merlin.inescn.pt/~qual/tk_octave/tk_octave.html

Not very much differences, just "Tk-me" (Tk Made Easy), that is a 
wrapper around the usual tk_cmd() and tk_receive(), and that enables 
one to create GUIs as easy as:

tkme("start"); 
top = toplevel("Tk is Easy!"); 
l1 = label(top,"34"); 
b1 = button(top,"Start","start=1"); 
b2 = button(top,"Stop","start=0"); 
b3 = button(top,"Quit","done=1"); 

As usual, there is builtin support for the tk driver of 
plplot_octave, that is now part of PLplot, see 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/

But after a brief look, I think that your approach is supperior to 
mine. I don't have now the time to do a merge, which I thing is 
desirable, but comments are welcome.
