 It's not the data you're feeding to gnuplot that QT is trying to
 authenticate, but it is trying to authenticate your access to the
 session manager. If you're not running KDE as your desktop (or rather,
 if the KDE session manager isn't running), then this error can be
 ignored. If you're running KDE, but not running gnuplot as the same
 user, then this error can either be ignored, or use sudo to start
 gnuplot.
 

Thanks for the very informative explanation. It provokes another
question:

I'm not running KDE. I'm running Xfce4. I do use a few packages from
Gnome, e.g. gnome-terminal, but not the full blown most recent
version. Should I install a different version/flavor of gnuplot that
would be a better match to my way of working? Advice?

TIA

Qt version of gnuplot strange message

The newer version of gnuplot is issuing a warning that I have never
seen before:

Qt: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason :
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and
host-based authentication failed

Apparently Qt believes it has to 'authenticate' the data which I
am feeding to gnuplot. I had always thought that the authenticity
of the data was the responsibility of me, the human user, and not
something that a could possibly be done by an artificial intelligence.
