I guess I confused everyone with my first post. The issue I am trying to solve is
that I cannot get mouse to work in octave (which uses gnuplot as a plotting
back end) on MacOSX (Tiger, kernel 8.2.0 <-- this might be important, since
people with 8.1.0 does not seem to have this problem).
So, I reduced the problem to a simple case of gnuplot being controlled via pipe.
On linux/x86 and on linux/ppc (FC4 in both cases) this works the same way
as if gnuplot run "normally" (except that I have to set mouse explicitly).
In MacOS X I cannot get mouse to work at all when gnuplot is controlled through
a pipe.

I am not  really a Mac OS X expert, so any advice would be appreciated.
In particular, I would like to hear from anyone who has a similar setup
and who can or cannot reproduce the problem.

I also open to suggestion on what kind of testing and debugging I can do.

Sincerely,

Dmitri.
