Did you find that 'set hist con' solves the problem?  (Place that command in you 
gnuplot initialization file.)  If so, is overall behavior acceptable for you?

gnome-term and xterm keep a full history:

   998  su
   999  exit
  1000  ls
  1001  ls
  1002  ls
  1003  history

...

Also, I should point out that the patch removes all duplicate spaces from input 
lines before placing them in the history buffer.  This makes things more tidy 
and also makes things like "plot x" and "plot            x" eqivalent.
