I do not quite remember - I took the official release of PLplot 5.2.1 
when I started with this and I am not sure whether the examples worked
correctly with the X Window driver (I messed around with the
installation
so I can not check this anymore).

What I do know is that in order to make it work in my own application
I had to fiddle a bit with the X Window driver. It turned out that at 
some deep level the plsc stream was doubly defined - it took me several
hours to find this out and it still frightens me at night :D

The changes I had to make were:
plP_setpxl() and plP_setphy() take an argument pls (instead implicitly
using plsc)

I will try to see if this is a solution now too.

Well, here is the summary:
