Re: ddd hangs on plot, crashes with 'BadWindow' error on cancel

Hi Andrew, hi Robert,

   OK, thanks for the confirmation and suggested work-arounds. If it 
helps anyone to debug this, I noticed the following: ddd is sending the 
line "set term xlib" to the gnuplot process, which (at least with my 
setup, with gnuplot version 4.x) causes gnuplot to generate a lot of 
gibberish instead of a plot window. When I commented out the following 
line in ddd/plotter.C:

init.prepend("set term " + string(app_data.plot_term_type) + "\n");

the plot feature *almost* worked - the plot window was there, data 
looked fine but didn't have any control menus or buttons. The mouse 
navigation and key-controls (e.g. "q" for quit) worked though.

   Anyhow, thanks again,

Mike.
