I wonder if the hang is due to some authentication problem, waiting for some
resource (colours?), or some other issue with your X server on the hanging
machine?  If you run PLplot apps on another machine and display results on the
machine that hangs for a local Plplot app, do you still get the hang?  How
about if you run any other X app (e.g., xterm) on another machine and
display it on the hanging machine?

You might also want to try -dev tk and -dev ntk to see how they display
on your hanging machine.  Those devices are also X based, but presumably
they use X in a different way than -dev xwin so they may work better (or
work worse with a better error message) than -dev xwin.
