This is done for qt and qt4. In qt, if you hold the button, leave the
figure, enter the second figure, and release the button, the old figure
receives the leave event, but the new figure does not receive the enter
event. This seems like an issue with qt3, the new figure does receive the
enter event with qt4.
I noticed that if one moves the cursor rapidly through the figure and axes,
some events are not captured. For example, the cursor is in an axes but the
last event the axes received was a leave event. I'm not sure how that could
be improved, do you see it as well?
Finally, off topic, I committed the improved version checking in
mpl.__init__, using subprocess instead of popen*, which were deprecated in
python-2.6. This has been tested on two separate windows machines, hopefully
there are no lurking issues. But its something to keep in mind when we cut
the next release for windows.
