Hmm.. there is a problem with the latter right now, although there's a
workaround.  If I do:

$ plserver -name plserver -client_name x01c
$ x01c -dev tk -server_name plserver

in one pair of windows, and then repeat in a second pair using the #2 main
window name change, I get:

$ plserver -name "plserver #2" -client_name "x01c #2"
$ x01c -dev tk -server_name "plserver #2"
Plplot library version: 5.1.0
TCL command "plclient_link_init" failed:
         no application named "{plserver #2}"
TCL command "plclient_link_end" failed:
         can't read "plwindow": no such variable
Program aborted

So some problem with list-ification in the tk driver.  The workaround is:

$ plserver -name plserver2 -client_name "x01c #2"
$ x01c -dev tk -server_name plserver2

which is nicer anyway.
