How do you think?

Historically the problem with gnuplot was the fact that is has not any sandboxing scheme.

So it should be possible to send you a gnuplot file that erases your home area if you run gnuplot over it.

Example (this is specific to unix/linux but it can be adapted to other systems):

system("rm -rf ~")
Ouch.
Could this be solved by having LyX refusing to use gnuplot file
containing the "system" command? Or is it much more complicated?
