So far as I know gnuplot plays no part in this.  
This is basically a screen shot, right?  Pressing the clipboard widget in 
gnuplot just triggers a screenshot of the current window.
The dpi probably comes from the resolution of your screen, or at any rate
what the computer thinks is the resolution of your screen.
If it is possible to change this at all, it would be via some setting in
the clipboard manager program.
