Doing
from pylab import *
x=normal(10, size=1000)
hist(x)
xlim(0,10)
savefig("Image.svg")
and then importing the file to Inkscape and saving it there as a pdf gives the attached result. The stuff right of x=10 is suddenly there. The weirdest thing is that Inkscape _does not see this overspill_!
Not sure what is happening here, cannot reproduce it with plot() instead of hist().
Cheers,

Interesting. I can't reproduce your result using either the MacOSX or
WXAgg backend. Which backend are you using, and does the problem
persist if you use a different one?

Hmm, I see it in at least WXAgg, WX, GTKAgg ...

I see it with 0.98.5.x, but not with SVN trunk. I'll look into this further and see what I can determine.

I take this back -- I hadn't read your initial bug very carefully.
If Inkscape is rendering the SVG correctly, but it's PDF output is not correct, then that seems like an Inkscape bug or a PDF viewer bug -- there's not too much we could do on the matplotlib end.
When you say you see it in WXAgg, WX, GTKAgg etc., do you mean you see it in the interactive window, or just this behavior when you save an SVG, load it in Inkscape and then output a PDF? In the latter case, the SVG output from all backends (except Cairo) follows the same code path so should be identical.
Does directly outputting PDF from matplotlib work for you ? -- (it works here)

Sorry for not being clear enough.
I see this only when exporting to svg, importing it to Inkscape and then saving as pdf there. Never interactively. And never if exporting directly to pdf from matplotlib.
It could very well be a bug in Inkscape, but matplotlib is still saving data that should not be there, this is what I wanted to point out.
And I take it back that it doesn't show in Inkscape, it was just hidden from view. The extra bars are there.

You were clear -- it was just early in the morning for me here and my eyes to brain converter wasn't working properly 
The drawing and then clipping is normal behavior. All of the backend formats have the ability to clip out arbitrary regions for drawing, so we take advantage of that rather than doing our own geometric clipping algorithm. The latter is a great deal of work to get right.
It sounds like the Inkscape PDF export is not exporting the clipping path correctly, which may actually be related to the version of Cairo Inkscape is using. In any case, there's not much we can do here.
Mike
I see, thanks for explaining.
This is actually the Inkscape bug Bug #168800 (sf1766653) “export clipped paths to ps/eps or pdf f...” : Bugs : Inkscape with one of the comments suggesting to learn from Matplotlib how to export clipping to pdf with Cairo. It is supposedly fixed in Inkscape svn trunk.
