As exciting as it is to hear about a new octave-forge release, please
believe me when I say that I was actually just moments away from
installing the previously most recent version when this announcement
arrived.  That is why I am so quick with this question.

Upon running "make icheck" after compiling octave-forge, I get an error
on the third test.  This is apparently a test of gtext and gzoom.  The
error is that after I hit "return" for the 2nd test, everything just
fails, the plot window quits, and the following output is given:


  confirm that the filter n stays within the design boxes:
  confirm that the legend says "cos" and "sin":
  click on the graph to place "hello"
  warning: gtext: could not capture button events.
  use left mouse to zoom the graph, right to unzoom, middle to exit
  warning: gzoom: could not capture button events.


I also just finished installing the latest version of gnuplot, 3.8j, and
it is the only version of gnuplot currently on my system.  The only
thing I noticed is that when I did a "ps" and grepped for gnuplot during
these tests, gnuplot was being called as "gnuplot_xll -noevents".

All this is occurring on a P4 2GHz running Redhat 8.0 w/updates. Any
ideas?
