At the time I've implemented it, I've found it is not possible.

The gnuplot executable is a console application, while the graphic window is 
X11, OS/2 Presentation Manager, Windows etc. application (communicating via 
different ways) and thus compiled and linked differently. So gnuplot binary is 
not linked to the respective X11/os2/... libraries needed to call the window 
manager in order to manipulate another window.
