Hi,
I can't help you with wxMaxima, and I don't know the db expression you 
used, but I tried the  command:

plot2d 
([1/f],[f,20,2e6],[logx],[gnuplot_term,'pslatex],[gnuplot_preamble,"set 
mxtics 10; set mytics 5;set grid xtics mxtics ytics 
mytics;"],[gnuplot_out_file,"acl0.tex"]);

and it worked fine in the current git version of Maxima, with Gnuplot 4.4.

The following command might help you when you are trying to find a 
problem with a plot:
   set_plot_option([plot_format,gnuplot])$
that way, after each plotting command a file maxout.gnuplot should be 
created. You can then work
with gnuplot interactively and use the command
  load "maxout.gnuplot"

If there is any problem with the file, gnuplot should give you an 
explanation of the error.
