Andrea,

I still have this problem.  I assume this is a MacOS X specific problem, but am 
not sure (I'm not much of a c++ programmer and have no experience with FLTK).  
If you're inclined the development community and the MacOS X users of Octave 
would greatly appreciate anything  you can do to track down the problem.
