 Ethan's "Note that wxWidgets 3.0 is known not to work." It had been
 working for me long before he even tried it. Note that you won't be able
 to compile wxWidgets 2.8 on anything newer than 10.6/10.7, except for
 wxGTK, but I don't think that you really want to use that one. Please open
 a new ticket for problems with wxt on this tracker if you think that there
 is some tiny chance to fix this.

 > I'm a bit reluctant to add `+qt` by default as that would result in
 heavy dependencies. But that's debatable. If enough people feel that qt
 should be default, it can be changed. (Feel free to install `gnuplot +qt
 -wxt` on your computer though.)

 The problem of wxWidgets 3.0 is not visible if you do not use the
 interactive terminal in --persist mode with pause mous command.
 I have asked Ethan if wxWidgets team has been made aware of this but it
 did not answer nor did give any specifics about the known not to work.

 Regarding qt instead of wxt my comment are :
 Pros:
 - In interactive mode more powerfull export of the current drawing. PDF
 SVG PNG. wxt does only offer to copy image on clipboard. Does not work on
 Ubuntu 12.04, I do not recall if it works on OSX, I think it does not.
 - In interactive mode qt terminal the copy to the clipboard works on all
 the OS.
 - In interactive mode the plot is redraw on windows resize. With wxt you
 have to deselect it with right mouse click to have a real redraw of the
 plot.
 Cons:
 - at least on OS X qt is slower than wxt.
 - not really able to comment on dependency, if I recall well there is the
 DBUS dependency that install a laund daemon that I don't really like as I
 just need gnuplot. However given the fact that wxt terminal is not stable
 in background mode I do not have really a choice.
