Consider the constructor for gtk_manager (libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc):

Notice that if HAVE_QT=1, then "qt" is entered as the default toolkit. However, *this assumes that "qt" will eventually be added to the list of available toolkits. This is not the case with octave-cli. It has "fltk" (if HAVE_FLTK=1 as well), but not "qt". At least, not yet.

It looks like this function is implemented incorrectly, then. In the HAVE_QT branch, it somehow needs to determine if the GUI is present, and if not, select "fltk" instead of "qt". Right? If I knew how to do that I'd offer a patch.
