Hi. We had a similar problem with a local implementation of the same stealing functionality. As far as I know the problem is due to the synchronization with the window manager you are trying to still the window from. The problem was resolved by adding a synchronization loop that waits for window manager's response to changes in the window state...

When your good old application does work, it does not steal the gnuplot graph as elegantly as you designed it, into the designated area, but instead it opens an additional window, which looks pretty wierd, while the original window remains with an empty middle.
