Details:

I just got a build of the current default to build
on Fedora 17 x86_64.  On my first try ./run-octave I found:

1. The main window opens maximized.  And, I could not find
   a configuration setting to change this.

2. When I went to "preferences" I got the preferences panel,
   but when I exited from it (the only way I could find was
   not obvious -- right click) the command line was broken. 
   Text that was
   entered, including CR did not show up until some focus
   change.  Basically, the only thing to do was to exit, but
   this left lt-octave running.

These are "details" that need fixing, but otherwise it looks
quite good to me (as an old-fahioned non-GUI person), It came
up quickly which VERY much better than Matlab.
