I finally got around to testing the plplot rpm's.  Wasn't exhaustive but spent
about 30 min trying out different things.  Didn't see any significant
problems.

One curiosity: when testing the TK driver I first got:

ged$ /usr/bin/plrender -dev tk phixs.plm 
X server insecure (must use xauth-style authorization); command ignored
    while executing
"send $client "set server_name [list $server_name]""
    (procedure "plserver_link_init" line 25)
    invoked from within
"plserver_link_init"
    (procedure "plserver_init" line 85)
    invoked from within
"plserver_init"

as was reported by someone else previously.  Once I followed the usual
prescription of turning off xhost access to all hosts, it worked.  The funny
thing is that my dev build of plrender does not seem to have this requirement.
Something different about the TK I've built?  Maybe that's the source behind
the confusion on the issue.  I'll try to discover the reason for the
difference when I get a chance.
