I guess that the following command from any terminal in your current
session will restore the previous behaviour:

    echo "gnuplot*borderWidth: 1" | xrdb -merge

But I do not understand why this one linetype is now affecting all 
the others.  There has been no change to the code in either x11.trm
or gplt_x11.c, so this must be a case of a slightly different command
sequence from the core code revealing a bug that may have been
there for a long time.    Can anyone spot anything relevant?
