Unfortunately, it wasnt as easy as that. I had some trouble with plots and 
toolbars not rendering (although the window would render), and the 
debug-annoying output wasnt helpful, so I gave up on this route. 

Instead, I made a validate_backend function that validates "gtkagg" regardless 
of the case, and returns the properly formatted "GTKAgg". I tested with 
backend_driver, I tried setting the backend with the use function, and with 
the -d flag at runtime, all tests passed. Changes in svn.
