I can reproduce this on the machine used to build the windows 
installer.  Works for 5.27 with xmaxima and wxmaxima, but doesn't work 
with either for 5.28. I tested that  plot2d and plot3d both worked.  I 
didn't test draw (but I have added a note to my build instructions for 
next time).

The windows build  for 5.27 and 5.28 use the same versions of gcl and 
gcc, gnuplot, wxmaxima, tcl. I did make some "improvements" to configure 
and the Makefiles, but it shouldn't have affected the graphics.
