If fixing it is a big deal, maybe the best thing is to follow the advice up-thread and wait on the fltk backend. Having no gnuplot background but plenty of Matlab experience, I really like the jhandles graphical backend. I'll either learn gnuplot or wait on fltk.
Please note that there are two bugs that prevent me from using jhandles. One is the problem closing a plot window. The other, more critical, bug is the inability to print the plot. If anyone can recommend a way to somehow convert a jhandles-type plot into some graphics format (eps, png, etc.), I would appreciate it. Thanks for all your help!
