What is a "non-numbered plot"?
Surely if x11 is processing a "replot" command, this needs to go to
the last window that x11.trm itself knew about.  What else could it mean?
I don't see how gnuplot_x11 can know this better than x11.trm itself.

I don't see "current_plot" anywhere in x11.trm.  Could you please mention
specific lines of code, or give the actual variable name?
