I think that is the case.  I finally got the GUI started on Windows again
and made it full screen.  Whenever I create a new figure either directly
with figure() or indirectly through plot() the window is underneath the
main GUI window.  Obviously this can be fixed because if I switch the
toolkit to gnuplot, it's window *is* created above the current main GUI.
