Definitely not something that's going to get fixed before release of 5.0.5
but if you open a bug tracker item we will try to deal with it.

It would probably help to know what versions of qt, etc.

That seems really odd, because why would gnuplot_qt be calling into a
gdk/gtk library?   As built here, the gnuplot_qt executable does not contain a symbol
entry for gdkwindow-x11, although the wxt/cairo code in the main gnuplot executable
does.  Furthermore, the pkg-config files for Qt 5.4.2 do not list any gdk library requirements.
Has this changed in a newer version of Qt?

Do you mean earlier versions of gnuplot run on Fedora 25,
or do you mean earlier versions of Fedora, or what exactly?
