You rather certainly can't, because if the version of gnuplot you 
installed (SuSE probably has several to pick from) had any such terminal 
driver available, that would _already_ be the default.

I.e. if gnuplot starts with none of the GUI drivers being the default, 
you either don't have any GUI driver compiled because you picked the 
wrong gnuplot installation package, or you have a configuration item in 
place that overrides the default (GNUTERM environment variable, 'set 
term' in your ~/.gnuplot or in the actual script you're running).  So 
you can't set such a default, as such --- if anything, you have to 
remove _your_ override of the default.
