I don't know if that helps but when running gnuplot on a file (such as http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.2/simple.1.gnu) with the -persist option, I get the following output when the plot window disappears:

bruno@nuuk:~/Desktop$ gnuplot -persist simple.1.gnu
bruno@nuuk:~/Desktop$
** (<unknown>:18085): WARNING **: Failed to send buffer
<unknown>: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0.

I can also confirm that either setting the terminal to x11 or disabling assistive technologies are effective workarounds.

To set the terminal to x11:
gnuplot> set terminal x11
gnuplot> load "simple.1.gnu"

To disable assistive technologies:
1. Go to System -> Preferences -> Assistive Technologies
2. Uncheck "Enable Assistive Technologies"
3. Click "Close and Log Out" then log back in again (or click Close, finish what you were doing, log out, log back in)
