Hi Ted,
sorry for the late reply. I could not reproduce that bug in Maxima 5.30 
(Windows 7). The command
    plot2d( [discrete, [ [0,0], [1,2], [2,4] ] ] );
creates two windows: one with the plot, and another one with the gnuplot 
interface (the supression of that second Window is a separate bug that I 
have just discussed in the "Window prts for Maxima" thread).

Could you please try again the plot2d command in Maxima or Xmaxima and 
before using any other plot commands get the file maxout.gnuplot from 
your temporary directory (type maxima_tempdir; to find out the name of 
that directory) and e-mail it to me so I can track the bug?

Regards,
Jaime
