But it behaves that way on Mac with qt terminal since the beginning, I believe.

I don't have any clue how to "change the focus policy" on Mac (I don't
know that for Linux either, but it's not like Mac OS X is very
configurable in that respect). But I didn't touch any settings anyway
other than switching back and forth between Qt 4 and 5.

But I checked again. I'm unable to compile Daniel's patch with Qt4
without modifications. The code from "trunk" still puts the plot to
front with Qt 4. But it keeps the plot in background with Qt 5. So it
probably wasn't Daniel's patch. It might be that Qt 5 is simply
behaving different than Qt 4.

(There are sooooo many different combinations of Qt and gnuplot
versions that I mixed that up a bit. I don't remember seeing the
window kept it background, but maybe I simply forgot.)
