    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Consider this code:


figure(1);
% user clicks on console, thereby burying figure window under Octave GUI /
CLI.
shg


In matlab, this would bring the figure window back on the foreground. In
octave this does not happen.

Similarly:


figure(1);
figure(2);
figure(1);
-verbatim

In matlab figure 1 should come back in front of figure 2 / the GUI window. In
octave nothing happens.
