That's the command in gplt_x11.c sources which sends information (events) 
from X11's graph to gnuplot.

The automatic variables are all those GPVAL_ and MOUSE_ which are 
automatically filled by gnuplot, some of them being updated after plot or 
mouse clicks (see "show var all"). In Octave, MOUSE_ are read by ginput.m, 
for example. You could read GPVAL_TERM_WINDOWID in the same way.
