Since there is no component pgplot in Bugzilla yet, let me add a current issue
here:

When running an application making use of PGPLOT and choosing output device
/XWINDOW, no output will happen unless pgxwin_server* has been launched in
advance by the user. Instead, the following error message is displayed:

  "Graphics device/type (? to see list, default /xwin): 
  PGPLOT /xw: Couldn't find program "pgxwin_server" in the directory named
  PGPLOT /xw: in your PGPLOT_DIR environment variable, or in any directory
  PGPLOT /xw: listed in your PATH environment variable."

This behaviour can be avoided by ensuring that pgxwin_server is found in the
current PATH. Traditionally, figdisp* and pgxwin_server* used to live in
/usr/bin/ or similar. In this case, they are launched automatically, e.g. when
pgdemo1 is invoked.
Currently, only /usr/libexec/pgplot/pgxwin_server is provided by
pgplot-5.2.2-27.fc10, but this choice does not do the job unless
/usr/libexec/pgplot is added to PATH explicitly.
