Testing...  it almost does.  (wpause assumes paused_for_mouse, had to
#ifdef USE_MOUSE that).  But it doesn't help to prevent the problem.

But now I've found a truly ghastly factor influencing one of the problems
I described: it depends on where the gnuplot text window pops up, relative
to the current position of the mouse.  If the mouse pointer is at rest
while starting wgnuplot.exe (current version) via the keyboard, and it
happens to be sitting *inside* the newly popped-up wgnuplot text window,
the first keypress will be lost.  This is insane.
