Thanks for the very informative explanation. It provokes another question: I'm not running KDE. I'm running Xfce4. I do use a few packages from Gnome, e.g. gnome-terminal, but not the full blown most recent version. Should I install a different version/flavor of gnuplot that would be a better match to my way of working? Advice?
