I did not install matplotlib seperately. A while back I did play with
wxpython and wxwidgets, but my Python script that uses those libraries still
work well. I did just reinstall my enthought python this morning when I was
having these problems. I didn't delete anything before installing, I just
assumed it would overwrite the old/bad stuff.

Now this was a good idea. Every backend worked except TkAgg which was my
default specified in my ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file.
