There is presently a patch available for gnuplot that allows the  
window size and position to be specified. It is available for those  
interested from the gnuplot tracker.

If anyone is interested in playing, it will be a simple task to modify  
my patch to set the size and position of the gnuplot window from the  
figure's "position" property.
