Description
see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=55735 for more details.
As I understand it QGLWidget is not detected with qt4 and as a result qt is not built as a graphics_toolkit. This leaves gnuplot as the only plotting engine that works. This is problematic for me as it leaks and doesn't allow for closing of figures very well.
The fix was two patches outlined in the savannah bug report. I've attached both patches to this ticket. The first 4af9840f9ce5 applies properly to octave 5.1. The second e247ecdee41d I needed to patch by hand both hunks fail due to missing markers in the 5.1 code. The code builds and runs on my machine which is a snow leopard machine (10.6.8).
Let me know if you have a git tree you would like me to patch and push changes to you.

I am sorry we were never able to resolve this issue, but Octave no longer supports Qt 4.

Well, we can restore it.
