Yes sure, but you never know what people are trying to do ;)

But just for my interest: Do you have installed Gnuplot-Fink and Gnuplot.app? If 
yes, I'd like to know if you start Octave-Fink that uses Gnuplot-Fink and you 
plot a figure out of Octave using AquaTerm; after that you start Octave.app and 
try to plot another figure from Octave.app; is that picture also displayed? I 
would expect it isn't, because AuqaTerm is a *app for it's own and placed into 
the taskbar (so can't be started twice) and therefore Gnuplot.app gets into 
conflict with Fink's AquaTerm - or am I wrong?

BTW, that's the reason why Octave.app doesn't go into the taskbar resp. is 
actively removed after startup from taskbar again so that users can start more 
than one Octave.app at once - for somebody who is interested in!?
