uitable does not accept placement in subplot

Hi there, 
I am trying to show live data in a single plot window with multiple
subplots, which update in regular intervals.

So far so good, what i cannot manage is adding a table to visualize a list
of discrete values in a subplot segments. Calling

>>subplot(2,1,1);
>> uitable(f, "Data", d, "RowName", row_names, "ColumnName", col_names);

yields no reaction at all, when i try 

>>subplot(2,1,2);
>> uitable(f, "Data", d, "RowName", row_names, "ColumnName", col_names);

Octave returns the following error message:

error: uitable: invalid parent handle.
error: called from
    __uiobject_split_args__ at line 37 column 7
    uitable at line 207 column 13



Any ideas for a workaround?
Cheers
^j
