I got it myself after a lot of trying and comparing:
In my file gnuplot.xtemplate I wrote "InputFormat gp", because
"InputFormat" and FileFilter extension are the same in the case of Xfig
(fig) and Inkscape (svg), but not with gnuplot: "InputFormat gnuplot"
and FileFilter .gp works!
For anyone interested I attached my working gnuplot.xtemplate.
Sorry for making noise!
