I think some were.  And of course if it is a bug you reported, you
will probably think it is important.

I think this would be somewhat difficult to do at this point.  Also,
it would be leaving in the long-standing bugs like not being able to
print subplots.

What do you mwan by off-screen rendering?  Do you mean plotting
directly to some other output device like a PNG file?  If so, then I
think the Matlab way is to do something like this:

  figure ('visible', 'off');
  plot (x, y);
  print -deps foo.eps
