Even though I haven't posted much lately, I have been making progress on a QT
solution with a full terminal emulator. I took the Konsole sources and using
qtermwidget as an example ripped out everything that made it KDE dependent.
You can find a screenshot of the current state at

Just yesterday I incorporated the octave_server class that used for the old
GTK+ octavede for interacting with Octave itself and now it is a matter of
implementing the Model-View-Controller for each of the subpanels (history,
variables, file browser, editor) using the octave_server class as the model
portion.
I suppose I should get a branch up on Sourceforge for the QT version of
OctaveDE so others can take a look.
