I have been resistant to committing this patch because (in my opinion)
mpl should not have to provide workarounds for bugs in package X on OS
Y, distribution Z. I think this particular issue was fixed when
PyQt4-4.6.2 was released. But its time to get practical, I suppose.
The patch looks fine, I just checked it into the trunk.

Thanks!  As the zen goes, practicality beats purity :)  I understand
your reluctance though, it's annoying to pepper mpl's code with this
kind of junk.

Happy New Year!
