Hi, I thought we had lost you to PyPlot :-)

Egads, that was a tough one.  Every once in a while when developing
I'll make a temporary change in the src code for experimental purposes
and forget to undo it.  This is one of those cases.  In
matplotlib.axis.XAxis, on or around line 575, find the line that reads

                #tick = self._get_tick(major=True)
                tick = protoTick

and replace it with 

                tick = self._get_tick(major=True)

The assignment 'tick = protoTick' was causing all ticks to share
properties.

FYI, matplotlib has a fairly general and extensible tick locator and
formatter framework, which you can read about in
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.ticker.html and in the examples
custom_ticker1.py, major_minor_demo1.py and major_minor_demo2.py in
the matplotlib src distribution or at
http://matplotlib.sf.net/examples.  The set_ticks, set_ticklabels,
etc, commands are just wrappers for these classes.
