I guess this is a feature. It has been discussed on this list multiple times.
There are few ways to do what you want to accomplish.

If you have octave-forge installed you can do:
...
plot(xh(iwc,:),xpdf(iwc,:))
hold on
bar(xh(iwc,:),yh(iwc,:))
print("-dpng", "/home/rsmegal/Desktop/plottest.png")
...
-------
That will not work with the latest gnuplot (4.0) since the interface
to png terminal has changed.
-------
Another way:
...
plot(xh(iwc,:),xpdf(iwc,:))
hold on
bar(xh(iwc,:),yh(iwc,:))
gset term png medium
gset output "/home/rsmegal/Desktop/plottest.png"
replot
...
