I'm having a similar problem on OS X with XQuartz 2.7.2_rc1. From a 
stackoverflow discussion, sending "pause mouse keypress" seems to make 
the cursor coordinates update, but none of the mouse clicks ever get 
accepted.

That a hint of an issue with recognizing mouse inputs between XQuartz 
and gnuplot. I'll have to find some time to go back to older versions 
of XQuartz to see if that resolves the issue.
