Yes GTKAgg seems to work on my set up with pythonwin. However, i'm new to
both python and matplotlib (installed it 3 days ago) and I haven't run all
your test scripts yet, but the ones I've tried do work. Also it works from
the pythonwin command prompt provided you don't go:
matplotlib.interactive(True)
This will do one plot and then GPF (but with a different message from the
one given when using TKAgg etc). I did get some overlayed plots working from
the command prompt yesterday but can't remember what I was doing
differently.
BTW have set the window controls to classic in the cfg file which allows
zoom, pan and saving to PS/Png (and the images import into Lyx (Win 32
version) with no problems), not sure that the "newfangled" one works
correctly - couldn't make the window zoom and pan, but maybe just
incompetence.

P.S. I notice someone else in the list had a problem downloading the user
guide. I had a similar problem - acrobat thinks the PDF is corrupted, but
the alternate link you gave works fine.
