Thanks for explaining!  Now I hope it is clear to me.

For your information:
The last days I did another test with the sources of 'plplot'.
I added a few lines of code to 'xwin.c' changing the window attributes
to remember their contents.  They may look like a hack, it is my first
attempt to do X11 programming.  The code is based on some lines I saw
in another tool.  The code seems to work.  Compiling and using of the
original plplot C-demos 'x??c' works.  Executing the plplot_octave
demos based on them works too.  I can hide the window with another one
and then put it back to foreground -- its contents is still there.

But now the point I really do NOT understand:
This does not work with the windows created by the plplot_octave demos
'p*.m'.  These windows insist in loosing their contents.
Are they opened in another way?
Hints are really welcome!

Thanks!  I'm back.  And if you heard in the TV news, I was near the
reagion with 2 -- 5 meters of snow.  A real chaos !

Bye
