Limited support for this capability has been recently added to the  
developers sources. The patch is at the link below (please do not try  
to apply it to 3.0.0, it will certainly not work).

	http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/d750feaefa8e

There is presently no support for windows or for x11. A gnuplot patch  
adding the capability to the x11 terminal is under development. The  
display terminals which are supported by the developers sources are  
wxt and aqua.

Thus, the problem you've reported will be resolved in a future version  
(except for Windows).
