Thanks David, your code worked just fine. I was however able to do it in 
an m-file using popen (I tried that earlier but it didn't work because I 
was missing some endlines).

So, now there's a functional wrapper around zenity in octave-forge CVS. 
It contains the following GUI creation functions:
  * zenity_file_selection   (a graphical file selection window)
  * zenity_notification     (puts an icon in the notification area)
  * zenity_calendar         (a date selection window)
  * zenity_list             (some weird window for listing data)
  * zenity_progress         (a progress bar (waitbar))
  * zenity_entry            (a text entry window)
  * zenity_message          (a message window)
  * zenity_text_info        (a window for displaying large texts)

To use the functions you need the "zenity" command line tool, that comes 
with the GNOME desktop. I think most Linux system has zenity.
