That's kind of unexpected.
In that case it seems that all you need to do is figure out what
differs in those two initialization paths, and the fix should be evident.
Could it be as simple as timing?  
Maybe just wait 1 second before leaving  execGnuplotQt().
If that works we can worry about changing it to a proper test that
the newly created process is now running.
