Reporting on behalf of this thread:

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Warning-lt-octave-gui-cannot-connect-to-X-server-td4659449.html

This did work not too long ago, if not running in X or unable to connect to X
for whatever reason, the GUI was not run and the octave executable falls back
to octave-cli.

Now that we are considering disabling the GUI unless explicitly enabled with
--gui, this may become fixed as a side effect.

Should octave fall back to command-line even if --gui is requested if the GUI
can't be started or should it error?
