Is there some reason for this difference?
The default should be based on what is found when mpl is built, so it sounds like when you are building v1.2.x, none of the supported gui toolkits is being found. I don't know why that is. Are you installing on a system that has gui toolkits already installed? One useful technique with ubuntu derivatives is to do sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib It might pull in more than you really want, but it will certainly include gui toolkits.
