Yes, they run in windows launched from two different machines, in my simple 
explanation (1st time I see "different server paths").

Does it work for the other interactive terminals as well?
I thought your wish for the API was that gnuplot is not linked against Xlib.

This could be for supporting "bind" commands to " " and "q":

term->interactive(TERM_INTERACTIVE_BIND_HOTKEY, " ", ..._RAISE_CONSOLE, 0)
term->interactive(TERM_INTERACTIVE_BIND_HOTKEY, " ", ..._RAISE_CONSOLE, 1)
term->interactive(TERM_INTERACTIVE_BIND_HOTKEY, "q", ..._CLOSE_WINDOW, 0)
term->interactive(TERM_INTERACTIVE_BIND_HOTKEY, "q", ..._CLOSE_WINDOW, 1)

You have shown that on X11 it does not work when running gnuplot and its 
plot in windows belonging to different computers.

BTW, I asked several times how to do the same Konsole "sheet flipping" for 
the gnome-terminal, but no one answered. So gnome-native users cannot enjoy 
the full functionality (but it works with a single gnome-terminal 
sheet/card).
