You seem to be asking for a cross-platform UI with widgets based on gtk.
What I meant was that wxWidgets claims to be exactly that, although it
doesn't use (or at least doesn't default to using) gtk on all the 
supported platforms.  So if you base your UI on wxWidgets, then gnuplot's
wxt terminal is a natural fit.

In the file .../src/Makefile.am is a commented out section that builds
a simple Qt app with embedded gnuplot windows.  

Edit that file to un-comment the section and re-run
    ./prepare; ./configure; make
    ./embed_example
