apparently the frame drawing code was in Axes.draw and Paul removed
the 2nd instance of it.  The first instance (which is the one that
remains) draws the frame under the artists, and the 2nd instance (the
one you want restored) draws the frame above the artists.  I tend to
agree that it is the 2nd one we want.  Does anyone have a different
opinion before I fix this?

Apparently someone moved the frame drawing code to be earlier so it
would be under the artists.
