Try using a FormatStrFormatter with a suitable format string:

  from matplotlib.ticker import FormatStrFormatter
  ax=gca()
  ax.xaxis.set_major_formatter(FormatStrFormatter('%5.0f'))

For more information, see
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.ticker.html
and grep for Formatter in the examples directory.
