This suggests that there is some initialization that is not happening 
when using --eval that does happen when using the gui, but I don't see 
what that might be.

If you use all the same options except the --eval "CODE" part, then 
execute the interpimages function call, does that work?

Similarly, but without the --gui option (so you start with a command 
line prompt)?  The qt toolkit should still be registered and should work 
as long as you are not using the -cli option for run-octave.
