I first faced problems with "plugin"

Making all in plugin
/bin/sh: line 0: cd: plugin: No such file or directory

but after manually patching the Makefile (there is a fair chance that
my setup is semi-broken in that respect, so I don't blame the sources
until I do a few more tests from a totally clean CVS checkout), here
are the initial problems again:

gnuplot> plot sin(x)
qt_sendFont: Not receiving font properties
qt_sendFont: "QLocalSocket: Socket operation timed out"
gnuplot> qt_processTermEvent received a GE_fontprops event. This
should not have happened

The plot finally appears after 15 seconds, without any labels, wrong
window size (that's also a problem in trunk/HEAD). Gnuplot then never
properly recovered (I never got any text labels).

The second gnuplot run works.

These are exactly the symptoms that Ethan fixed recently.
