Besides the id vs. title issue, there is a bug related to theses plot 
numbers in multiplot graphs:

set terminal svg mouse
set output 'multiplot.svg'
set multiplot layout 1, 2
plot sin(x), cos(x)
plot x**2
unset multiplot
set output

Now, clicking on the key of the x**2 plot hides/shows the sin(x) plot.

I just mention it here, because it is related to the naming of the 
unique ids.
