I suppose I could do something like the above inside the Qt terminal, so 
long as it is done on the gnuplot core side of things:


     MAIN PROGRAM         |       QTHREAD
                          |
   gnuplot core           |  QtTerminalInterface
   QtTerminalEmitter      |  (active event loop)
   (inactive event loop)  |
                          |
   Place do_event() here  |
   when other thread is   |
   complete               |
