Hmm, good to know. So you're saying gtkagg works from pythonwin?  That
would be *very nice* for windows users.  I'll take a look at the
installers you are suggesting, because I've had a hard time finding an
environment to suggest to win32 matplotlib users, particularly
newbies.  The pythonwin environment, in my opinion, is very nice for
windows users because it has the native win32 look and feel, but I
wasn't aware of any matplotlib backends that could be used within it
due to GUI conflict issues.  Have you tried gtkagg with this gtk
release in win32, both in script mode (Eg "Run") and in interactive
mode (eg entering plot commands at the shell)?
