Not a clear sequence.  But I've noticed another behavior that might be 
the source of the problem.  (Sorry I can't look into this more closely.) 
 It seems that clicking the "close window" button in the upper right 
(or left depending on system) corner doesn't actually "close(5)", for 
example.  The window is closed, but if one plots to the same figure 
number, it remembers it was in multiplot mode.  Basically, Octave's 
instance of the figure isn't being closed.  I suppose we haven't really 
dealt with such a thing in the past.  I wonder if we can now with the Qt 
terminal.  I'll ask around later in the week.
