Do you want the display on the local machine?

draw2d works as expected for me.  I run maxima on the remote machine,
and draw2d produces a gnuplot window with the graph on my local machine. 

AFAIK, if plot2d works, then draw2d should work fine too.  All you
really need is the envvar DISPLAY setup correctly.  gnuplot will do the
right thing then.
