Ok.  I may take a first stab at this in a day or two, but no promises.

I can :(  I just tried, and the new code (which doesn't lock up gv), will 
never start if the backend chosen is WX.  But it may be a matter of thread 
conflicts or something, since pygtk calls are still being made.  Let's get 
Tk*/Gtk* working first, with a well-localized set of thread calls only when 
needed.  With a clean enough base, putting the WX code in the right place 
should be reasonably easy.  Perhaps Andrew (who wanted to hack matplotlib a 
bit) might help along in LA.
