Yes, that is one solution, but another is to put

  set mouse

in your ~/.gnuplot file.  The reason this is needed for Octave but not
when running gnuplot by itself is that Octave interacts with gnuplot
via a pipe, so gnuplot doesn't think it is working interactively, so
it doesn't enable the mouse mode for the X11 terminal and you need to
force that to happen with the "set mouse" command.  The best place to
put that command is in the ~/.gnuplot file.  That way, all instances
of gnuplot will have the mouse mode enabled.
