There is a minor issue, which is that 'persist' and other wxConfig 
settings are stored at wxt-window exit, rather than at the point of "OK" 
or "Apply".  Say for example:

1) Run 'gnuplot' and generate a WXT terminal window.  Exit when 
'persist' is active, the window stays on screen.

2) Run 'gnuplot' again, generate a WXT plot and turn off 'persist'. 
Exit and the most recent plot window closes, but the older plot is still 
persistent, that's fine.

3) But now close that older plot window and 'persist' is turned back on 
the next time gnuplot is run.

Rare circumstances, and probably not worth a bug fix.
