Oh, and yes it is the job of the GUI panel, dock, or whatever
to be well organized.  To me, that is the fastest way to find and
raise a window.

I point out that having this control in Gnuplot is of some use
in cases where there is an application utilizing Gnuplot through
a pipe.  Say I write a GUI-based app for processing and
managing images, waveforms, or what have you.  If my app
has some kind of menu where I can select files or whatnot,
one of the functions may be to bring that waveform to the
front of the screen, enlarge the window, close the window,
etc.
