For some reason I thought I was subscribed to this bug but I wasn't. So
as the guy who reverted the backend from GTKAgg to the upstream default
(Agg) I have to admit that I didn't fully understand that Agg wasn't a
GUI backend. I've always used GTKAgg, so my bad there.

What I was trying to get around was having so many Gnome/GTK
dependencies by default for the KDE/Qt users. So the immediate thing we
can do is make TkAgg the default backend (I thought it was actually in
Debian). For Jaunty I'm thinking that maybe we should work on creating
python-matplotlib-gtk and python-matplotlib-qt metapackages that would
allow people to avoid pulling in a lot of deps they don't want.
