I've attached a changeset which positions the axes in a compatible  
manner. It also handles subplot(3,3,1:3) in a compatible manner. Hence  
I've copied "zx♥ch^m" and jwe who discussed this on the thread; Re:  
error: subplot: columns, rows, and index have to be scalars.

The titles and xlabels still overlap. To resolve that Octave will need  
to explicitly handle the placement of those text objects.
