I have mixed feelings about the default.
A default output of gtk seems best for general interactive use and visual
fidelity with the old plot behavior.
Some jconsole users seem to be using jconsole for its streamlined interface and
character based interaction. I would think that a default output of png fits
better with that usage.
png has the added advantage of providing a reasonable, if indirect, path to
printing the plot results.
pdf seems best reserved as a non-default option.
