Sorry Joris,

the previous versions of .octaverc and tm-start.oct were still buggy, 
here are the correct ones.

The point is that most of the functions in octave29/plot/ don't work 
with Octave 3.0.

However, if Octave does not find them in its path it uses its default 
and graphics are outputted to an external window, similarly to what 
happens with the Maxima plugin.

So with a minimal effort the Octave plugin becomes usable again (and 
backward compatible with Octave versions < 2.9).  Then possibly someone 
could fix the functions in octave29/plot/ to get back inline graphics.
