In the spirit of the patch for the spacebar, we could bind 'q' to a new
mechanism in mouse.c based on the codes for "set <term> close" and the
"winid" field in the gp_event_t structure. See below for limitations of
this approach.

*I* am happy with it, but I aknowledge a regression of this approach : th=
e
events from the terminal have to be processed to be taken into account.
For example :

set term wxt
plot x
<press space> =3D> the gnuplot console is raised
set term x11
plot x
<press space in the wxt window> =3D> nothing happens
<press space in the x11 window> =3D> the gnuplot console is raised
set term wxt
plot x
<press space in the x11 window> =3D> nothing happens
<press space in the wxt window> =3D> the gnuplot console is raised
set term png
<press space in the x11 window> =3D> nothing happens
<press space in the wxt window> =3D> nothing happens

Without the patch, in any case the gnuplot console is raised.
If this is acceptable, then the patch should be committed.

The both solutions are not mutually exclusive. The point is that dealing
with hard-coded paths is quite a nightmare to make it work in every
situation.
