Mmh, very strange.  I can confirm that the labels do both (x/y) display 
correctly for me, on a Fedora Core 3 box using mpl 0.80 on Python 2.3.4 
(the default), and the TkAgg backend.

However, on my box all other backends (WX, GTK, Qt) fail to even open 
the display window _at all_. The code runs (confirmed by some print 
statements), but it never opens a window at all.  This, despite the fact 
that these backends all work just fine in 'ipython -pylab'.

Trying to get some info from matplotlib wasn't very enlightening:

[~/test]> ./pplot.py --verbose-helpful
matplotlib data path /usr/share/matplotlib
loaded rc file /usr/local/home/fperez/.matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.80
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is linux2
numerix Numeric 23.7
font search path ['/usr/share/matplotlib']
loaded ttfcache file /usr/local/home/fperez/.ttffont.cache
backend GTKAgg version 2.4.1
t 0.0
t 0.1
t 0.2
t 0.3
[...]

I haven't the foggiest idea what the problem may be...

Best,
