I have no experience with glib, but I guess the stdin of the
spawned gnuplot is set to /dev/null, so the gnuplot thinks it
should quit (as if you typed ctrl-D in the terminal = EOF).

On Linux, wxt window is managed by a separate process from the main
gnuplot process. But on Mac, gnuplot+wxt is a single process, and if
the main gnuplot quits then the plot window will go away.

You may try setting the G_SPAWN_CHILD_INHERITS_STDIN bit in the
'flags' (the 4th arg of g_spawn_async()), so that the gnuplot will
inherit the stdin from the parent.
