Hi. I don't want to be directly involved as a mentor this year with
GSoC. I'm ok with answering questions here and there.

QtHandles got "integrated" into Octave very recently, but there's
still lots of work to be done with it. Other than the code getting
merged in, there is very little integration actually done.

I think the QtHandles problems will be obvious if you start using it,
as this is a very rough first draft. I believe we also have some bugs
reported against it in the bug tracker.
