I took a look at xwin.c and it appears that a number of the X11
calls do not have check for error returns.  Perhaps this is the
origin of the problem.

Summary: -dev xcairo shows fatal error when the window is closed

Initial Comment:
For -dev xcairo, when you close the window by alt+F4 or other equivalents, the 
following fatal error message is the result:

XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server

This fatal error can be disruptive to certain environments (e.g., lisp) and 
should be replaced by a smooth exit from PLplot. as occurs under these same 
circumstances for -dev qtwidget and -dev wxwidgets.

Re: [Plplot-devel] Problem with test-drv-info a bit clearer

It appears to me there is a good possibility you discovered a build-system
issue here.  If your PATH did not contain the directory where the driver
DLL's are located, how come this was not an issue for running the examples
in the build tree?

In other words, is the build system doing the right thing with regard to the
driver PATH for running build-tree examples for MinGW, but not for running
test-drv-info?

Even if there is a mundane explanation for your puzzling results (such as
you had the wrong PATHs set for running test-drv-info, but you corrected
that afterward for running the examples in the build tree), it appears to me
we could make life substantially easier for those using the MinGW platform.

Anyhow, there is a lot of power in CMake to make life easy for builders
on all platforms.  Let's use that power rather than demanding workarounds
from our users such as adding extra paths when CMake might give us
a better solution automatically.

Assuming you do come up with a build-system fix to make life easier for our
MinGW users, please think as generally as possible.  For example, try to
make the fix so that MinGW/MSYS, Cygwin, and bare Windows users benefit as
well as MinGW users.
