This is probably a bug in gnuplot. I noticed a similar problem with
xemacs as reported here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/3650/focus=3652

So if your problem is similar, a temporary solution is to use
XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints from the extension library:
http://xmonad.org/contrib.html

Make sure to file a bug report with gnuplot about it just like I did for xemacs:
http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue310

The gnuplot bug tracker is here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2055&atid=102055

Then hopefully it will be solved soon.
