I have two problems under MacOS. The first is that the fltk-aqua window steals 
focus.

Second, if I use gnuplot/aquaterm, the focus problem is fixed, but the windows 
never close. When I run Soren't dump_demo's script enough windows are created 
that aquaterm / gnuplot eventually crash ... and the script errors out. I can 
avoid the crash/error by closing windows as they are created.

Each of these problems mean running the dump_demo's script is effective in 
preventing me from doing anything else in parallel.
