Thanks. From the mounted dmg, I can install Gnuplot.app to anywhere,
for example to my Desktop. If a user has no admin privilege then
she/he can't install into /Applications.

Usually, when I double click on a dmg file, it is mounted, and its
window is opened as a frontmost window, i.e., not covered by any other
windows (at least on OS X 10.9.5). What do you mean by 'recent OS X'?

But yes, if I double click on the gnuplot dmg, it is mounted but no
window opens. I don't know why. 
Another problem is the dmg is writable.

How did you make the dmg file? Did you try DiskUtility.app? It can
make a read-only (and compressed) dmg file.
