That's interesting. At home I installed gnuplot some time ago on the same
system, Kubuntu 14.04, and it also gave me V.4.6, but wxt as default 
terminal type, and that works. I wonder how come it set an unknown type
on the work computer? Also, wxt doesn't seem to be included in the list
of possible types there. What can I do to fix this?
