My confusion arises from the fact that in the examples you give, mousing 
is not expected to work. Note that when I say "mousing", I refer to the 
the full functionality described by the help given when 'h' is pressed 
in the gnuplot_x11 window. This includes zooming, labelling, and 
toggling of logarithmic axes and of grids. The display of the 
coordinates of the mouse cursor is generated by gnuplot_x11 itself, and 
does not require that gnuplot be running.
