I think that it is best done by gnuplot_x11 at the time the plot window
is first opened.  The information can be sent back to gnuplot proper by
calling gp_exec_event().  

I do not know exactly what call into the X libraries would need to be
added in gplt_x11.c, but there must be one.  On the receiving end, it
just needs another case statement in mouse.c (do_event).  That part is
trivial.
