Running some application which invokes gnuplot to plot some squiggles in
a popup window. When I thereafter run command
ps -ef
I see processes:

gnuplot
/usr/lib/gnuplot/gnuplot_qt

I use KDE desktops. So I wonder is there a "gnuplot-gtk" or similar
offshoot if running Gnome?

In Mageia linux there are three gnuplot packages, each with a version of the
program:
- gnuplot for gtk based desktop environments such as gnome.
- gnuplot-qt for qt based desktop environments such as kde plasma.
- gnuplot-nox for a command line only version.

From my recollections in using gnuplot, you can arbitrairily set the
output to whatever you want. You can set it to output draw-codes for the
old Tek graphics terminals, vector graphics in Xterm, pure X, Qt, even
output to various filetypes such as DXF, PDF, and TeX. You can list them
all by running 'set terminal' in gnuplot, and you can set it to any of
these by running 'set terminal TYPE', replacing TYPE with whatever mode
you want to set it to.

My copy of gnuplot doesn't appear to have a GTK option, but it does have
a pure X mode.
