New description:

 These commands issued in Octave 4.0.2 only produced blank white windows
 titled "Figure 1":

 {{{
 uicontrol('style','pushbutton','string','button')
 }}}
 {{{
 uipanel('title','panel','backgroundcolor','r')
 }}}

 The first command should have produced a pushbutton graphic in the lower
 left corner of a new window.  The second command should have produced the
 word "panel" inside a new red window.

 Apparently all ui### functionality is broken which means that no custom
 GUIs can be run in this Octave 4.0.2 port.
