Comment (by mojca@…):

 One thing I don't like about gnuplot is that they really like to close bug
 reports as "Sorry, it works for me on X and I'm not interested in checking
 Y".

 But I admit that I'm not sure how to reproduce the crash either. And I
 don't understand whether the bug report on the gnuplot tracker is trying
 to report a problem with wxt or a problem with qt. One thing that you need
 to be aware of is that you cannot switch between wxt and qt. This means
 that if "wxt" is the default terminal when you run gnuplot, you might
 expect troubles when switching to qt. If gnuplot starts with "aqua",
 switching to either qt or wxt should work without problems, at least in
 theory.

 But again, please open a new ticket and discuss the problem there. And
 please make it clear what is your default terminal and what is giving you
 problems. It is possible that the crash only happens on the latests OSes.
 I'm not experiencing a crash on 10.7, or at least I don't know how to
 reproduce it.

 Dependency: in case of 10.10 depending on Qt by default means waiting for
 a few hours for Qt build to finish just to be able to install, say,
 octave.
