I was thinking a

"set term x11 interactive" would make x11 or whatever the
interactive terminal.  Then any of the "window manager"
terminal commands

raise
minimize
maximize
close
hide

would be directed to the interactive terminal as opposed to the
plot terminal.  Of course, they will often be the same terminal.

That would be too many commands for what it provides.
