Let me make sure I understand what you are looking for. You want your 
ticklabels to read "1000000", "2000000", and you dont want the label at the 
end of axis. Is that right?

If so, there are two options at the moment:

1) gca().xaxis.set_major_formatter(OldScalarFormatter())
2) gca().set_xticklabels(('1000000','2000000'))
