To Jim and Phil: I notice that -dev xwin is always one behind whatever resize command you give it. To prove this for yourself, grab the edge of the xwin widget and resize it much larger or smaller. Nothing happens to the size of the plot until the next time you resize it, and if you watch closely it turns out that it is always one resize command behind.
I also notice the new wxwidgets device does not have this behaviour. So it is possible -dev xwin has never used plbuf capability correctly or it may need a change to make it work with recent plbuf changes. Also, I looked at resizing capability for ntk (crap), xcairo (crap), and qtwidgets. I really like the latter because it preserves the original plot aspect ratio (expanding or contracting that plot to fill the window as large as it can while keeping that aspect ratio preserved). I have no idea how many (if any) of those currently use plbuf capability, and for those that don't how easy it would be for them to start using plbuf capability, but it would be nice if wxwidgets followed the qtwidgets model where the aspect ratio of the plot is preserved doing resizes.
