I managed to get the gnuplot window up from octave:

  1. hist(rand(1,1000)) ## X11 app (2.7.4) launched but no plot window
  2. Quit the X11 app   ## X connection broken
  3. hist(rand(1,1000)) ## invalid command warning
  4. subsequent hist(rand(1,1000)) has no warning of invalid command

If I restart octave I have to repeat the above steps.

Here is the session log:
