Well, the workaround was by set_plot_option.

Before 5.20 get_plot_option(gnuplot_preamble) returned an empty string
and now it returns false. This change of behaviour breaks wxplot2d. If
you wish to be friendly towards projects which depend on maxima you
should not be making changes like this just before a release.

BTW, since imaxima uses wxplot2d too, inline plotting in imaxima is
probably broken too.
