This works in its most basic form, which is awesome. Thanks! But I'm now
going to be a pain in the butt. For a gnuplot-using application to work
reasonably, this needs to only wait for a window-close event when one is
coming: i.e. when a window is open. Scenarios that could happen:

1. User already closed the window before I send my "pause mouse close"

2. We're using a non-interactive terminal (dumb, pdf, etc etc)

Ideas on handling that?
