Hmm. That is possible, but if so then your system is configured
differently than mine.  My system does not load such files 
automatically; only on request.  On the other hand, I have the gnuplot
background set to white anyhow, so that particular change I wouldn't
have noticed.

I view such files more as documentation than anything else.
You can browse the file to see what X resource options are available.
As I said, they aren't actually read in and executed on my systems.

That would be the line
  gnuplot*raise:        off

The principle of least surprise suggests that maybe I should
either flip this to 'on' or comment out the line.  Thanks for
reporting the issue.

Any others?  Have you tried out the dashed lines?
They were always there, but up until now there has been no
convenient way to turn them on.
