From my recollections in using gnuplot, you can arbitrairily set the
output to whatever you want. You can set it to output draw-codes for the
old Tek graphics terminals, vector graphics in Xterm, pure X, Qt, even
output to various filetypes such as DXF, PDF, and TeX. You can list them
all by running 'set terminal' in gnuplot, and you can set it to any of
these by running 'set terminal TYPE', replacing TYPE with whatever mode
you want to set it to.

My copy of gnuplot doesn't appear to have a GTK option, but it does have
a pure X mode.
