AFAICS all recent Octave releases use the same octave-gui.ini, at least on my
Windows box (didn't check $HOME on Linux yet).

Now with Octave 9 and 10 on the same box, apparently using Qt5 and Qt6 resp.
(?), the GUI opens with different window sizes and different window positions.
OK, not quite a showstopper but I find it annoying.

Another motive is that with the dev version I use different GUI setups that
I'd like to keep apart from regular releases.

So I'd advocate to be able to use different GUI settings files for each Octave
release; perhaps at least for major releases. Or offer a setting
(environment?) on where to store that settings file.

Or did I overlook that such an option is already present?
AFAICS it's not in the manual.
