I will have a look.

The current one is the current active one. It is the last one from "set term 
x11". The value of GPVAL_TERM_WINDOWID is to be used by a front-end (such as 
Octave) using gnuplot for drawings; thus, it can fetch the Window ID just 
after the plot command.

Note there is already GPVAL_TERM. As all automatic variables are prefixed 
GPVAL_ (except for MOUSE_), the new one should become GPVAL_TERM_WINDOWID.
