Package: gnuplot-x11
Version: 4.2.2-1.2
Severity: minor

The man page says "... provides  the  x11  terminal  type for use with X 
servers.
This terminal type is set automatically at startup if the DISPLAY environment 
variable ..."
and so on.  "help set terminal x11" says the same thing.

But in fact the "xwt" terminal has priority; see term.c/init_terminal().

It might also be a good idea to write a few words about $GNUTERM in the man 
page,
for those of us who like the x11 terminal, find the wxt terminal loathsome,
and don't have the patience to look it up in the texinfo documentation.

The x11 terminal is what many people are used to -- it's default up to and 
including
Debian Etch.  From what I have seen of the wxt driver, I doubt that it can 
handle my
large data sets, or work well over a non-local X11 session. I guess I'm saying 
that
I don't want it as default ;-)
