This is a strange one indeed.  Walking through wgnuplot, here's what 
happens:

*) win/wtext.c:ReadTextIni() correctly set lptw->Size to the requested
size from wgnuplot.ini

*) win/wtext.c:TextIni() uses that size to initialize the window size of
the "Parent window" (the main text window, with the menu bar and the
actual text window inside)

*) Next, TextIni() calls GetClientRect() to determine the size of the
actual text window area, and that one comes out with a width of 640,
even though lptw->Size was 808.

Something's seriously fishy here.
