The thing is, it used to work... My current workaround is to run octave in a separate shell window, but that is quite a bit less convenient. I've started emacs from a shell window rather than the X11 menu and here's the error I get in the shell: (pid 4324 stderr) (emacs:4324): GLib-WARNING **: In call to g_spawn_sync(), exit status of a child process was requested but SIGCHLD action was set to SIG_IGN and ECHILD was received by waitpid(), so exit status can't be returned. This is a bug in the program calling g_spawn_sync(); either don't request the exit status, or don't set the SIGCHLD action. winClipboardWindowProc - timed out waiting for WIN_XEVENTS_NOTIFY winGetWindowInfo: forcing window to exist (pid 4324 stderr) (emacs:4324): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion `extra_space >= 0' failed winGetWindowInfo: forcing window to exist My earlier assertion that the plot doesn't appear at all is wrong, BTW. At the moment the window is mapped you can briefly see the plot, but then the window goes all gray. I don't get the Gtk errors if I try to do the same thing from emacs-w32, but the behaviour of the plot window is the same. > I will be surprised of a positive and reactive outcome You are right that plotting in octave through emacs has deteriorated in performance quite a bit in the last two years, especially when plotting via Gnuplot; that is not Cygwin specific.
