Here are four captures of the wxt window :

http://tipote.free.fr/initial.png
    => initial window after 'plot x**2'

http://tipote.free.fr/decrease_y.png
    => I decrease the height of the window, the plot is downscaled and 
keeps its aspect ratio, leaving a gray area on the right of the window

http://tipote.free.fr/increase_x_and_y.png
    => I increase both the width and the height of the window, the 
height is increased more than the width. A gray area is left on the 
bottom of the window.

http://tipote.free.fr/after_replot.png
    => I hit the 'replot' icon or type 'replot'. The plot is 
regenerated, fills the whole window, and font sizes and linewidths take 
their original value back.

Best regards,

Timothée
