Todd, many moons ago you wrote me and said I had inadvertently screwed
up something in tkagg show that broke the idle -n behavior.  If I
recall correctly, we never reverted, since I didn't understand exactly
what to do.  Perhaps you could revisit the current tkagg versus the
old one to make sure it is right.

Hans, does it make a difference if you uncomment

    #os.environ['PYTHONINSPECT'] = '1'

in the show method of
site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_tkagg.py? You should set
'interactive : True' as Todd suggested.  Do not use show, as it is not
designed for interactive use.  I suggest carefully testing all 4
combinations: with and without the PYTHONINSPECTmline, and with and
without -n.  As you probably know, you'll need to restart idle after
every change to the module source code, or at least reload the module
if you know how to do that.

Some bugs refuse to die.  Let us know...

That's the latest.

Good luck!
