I don't have any advice for you, but thought I'd mention that Octave's 
developers are currently working on a GUI for Octave. 

        http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#Is_there_a_GUI_planned_for_Octave.3F

There have been many prior attempts to write a GUI for Octave.  Most have been 
abandoned.  All have serious short comings.

If you're interested in cooperating on the development of Octave ....
