Hello,

When I run these commands:

gnuplot> set term qt
gnuplot> plot(sin(x))
gnuplot> set term qt 0 close

the plot window doesn't close. However, when using wxt, the plot window closes as expected. This happens in both gnuplot 4.6.6 and 5.0.2, on Ubuntu and on Arch Linux.

Is this a bug? What is the correct way to close a qt plot window from gnuplot's command line?
