I noticed an ugly artifact that at on place a minor tic is unnecessarily
displayed, and even straight *besides* the major tic. This was with a png
term definition  set term png size 800,600 . If I change that definition
to  set term png size 800,599  the artifact disappears. It's, yet again,
a work-around.

Is that how gnuplot works and how experienced people "solve" such issues,
or is there any better approach?
