I see.

Yes. Look at libwmh in the lib subdir. If you link the application with it
and Initialize it and Attach the mwh-Extension to a visual, extra commands
become available, like setting window titles on GGI visuals.
There is a demo in there to show you how it is done.

It is a GGI thing, so no worries. Just like the GGI target will basically
make the internal X support of gnuplot redundant.
It works by hooking into the dynamic loading mechanism of LibGGI. When it
sees the X renderer being loaded, it will load the X specific override
functions for the WMH functions as well, which will magically make them
work on X (or other windowed environments), but fail on others, which
should be precisely what you want to know.

Sure. Should work.

That's not an easy thing to solve ...
You might want to try setting GGI_NEWVT.
