So the change in question was the one that let gnuplot_x11 report back the
font size of the default font to gnuplot (grep for "EAM June 2003" in
x11.trm).

Petr: you already added a good deal of #ifdef PIPE_IPCs around this
in end of October 2003 (x11 reversions 1.82, 1.83), so it now looks like 
this:

#ifdef USE_MOUSE
    /* EAM June 2003 - Flush the set font command through the pipe */
    /* to gnuplot_x11, then wait for it to return the resulting    */
    /* font size information (v_char and h_char).                  */
    if (!default_font_size_known) {
#ifdef PIPE_IPC
        IPC_LOCK = TRUE;
#endif
        X11_set_default_font();
        FFLUSH();
#ifdef PIPE_IPC
        if (ipc_back_fd >= 0)
#endif
            X11_waitforinput();
        default_font_size_known = TRUE;
#ifdef PIPE_IPC
        IPC_LOCK = FALSE;
#endif
    }
#else
    X11_set_default_font();
#endif

Petr: I guess you or Franz will have to single-step through this part 
and find out at exactly which part of it the garbage turns up.
