I asked help, and got this list:

Subtopics available for terminal:
    cairolatex        canvas            cgm               context
    corel             dumb              dxf               eepic
    emf               emtex             epscairo          epslatex
    fig               gif               gpic              hp2623a
    hp2648            hpgl              imagen            jpeg
    latex             lua               mf                mif
    mp                pcl5              pdfcairo          png
    pngcairo          pop               postscript        pslatex
    pstex             pstricks          push              qms
    regis             svg               tek40xx           tek410x
    texdraw           tgif              tikz              tkcanvas
    tpic              vttek             xterm

x11 and wxt are not among them. As I wrote in another reply,
I seem to have an older version of gnuplot, which sets the
terminal type to "unknown". I'll have to find out how to get
an up to date version.
