Thanks for the detective work: I was mostly reporting the issue as a TkAgg 
backend user.  I certainly hope that the backend developers can use your info 
and track this problem down in a clean manner, as this is obviously broken, 
but I don't know anything about Tk either (I just use it), so I'm afraid I 
won't be the one doing the work :)

Cheers,
