Thanks for the suggestions, Darren.

I spent some time going through older revisions of Matplotlib (and
Numpy and SciPy) and it turns out that it isn't an issue with
Matplotlib as I originally suspected, but rather how I went out
updated an imshow-based plot. Previously I was attempting to plot an
image first, then set then use the result to create a
FigureCanvasQTAgg instance:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    figure = plt.figure()
    self.axes = figure.add_subplot(111)
    self.axes.imshow(...)

    self.figure = figure
    FigureCanvasQTAgg.__init__(self, self.figure)

This works in some environments and it happened to work at the time I
originally developed the code, but is not the best way to do things.

A better way is to first instantiate a Figure instance:

    self.figure = Figure()
    self.axes = self.figure.add_subplot(111)
    self.axes.imshow(...)
    FigureCanvasQTAgg.__init__(self, self.figure)

For now this seems to do the trick. If anyone knows of a better way to
do things, please let me know.

Thanks!
Keith
