Your trick did it just fine. TeX titles and y-labels appear correctly 
now. Vertical y-labels are not an issue for me right now. Perhaps other 
users?

Well i agree with the above, but i wasn't in interactive mode. Moreover, 
gca().set_xticks doesn't print anything. Here is an example:

 >>> import matplotlib
 >>> matplotlib.use( 'TkAgg' )
 >>> from matplotlib.matlab import *
 >>> x = [1,2,3,4]
 >>> y = [2,1,4,3]
 >>> plot(x,y)
[<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0x01092B20>]
 >>> show()
 >>> gca().set_xticks( [1,2,3,4] )
 >>> show()
 >>> gca().set_yticks( [1,2,3,4] )
[<matplotlib.axis.YTick instance at 0x010738A0>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick 
instance at 0x010793F0>, <matplotlib.axis.YTick instance at 0x01079F08>, 
<matplotlib.axis.YTick instance at 0x01076A58>]
 >>> show()

The two set_[xy]ticks commands work fine. For some reason though, 
set_yticks outputs tick instances in the terminal.
