When I increase the xlabel fontsize, it overlaps with the tick label.
How can I adjust the distance between tick label and xlable (or ylabel)?
Please help me.

This shouldn't happen if the font metrics are correct, since the label
gets the bounding box of the tick labels and adjusts itself correctly.
What mpl version and backend are you using?
To increase the distance, you can increase the LABELPAD parameter
ax.xaxis.LABELPAD = 8 # default is 5

This behavior is causing a problem for me. I have two figures with different sets of yticklabels (100 vs 1000), and the ylabels are in different places as a result. I'd like to have the two ylabels be in the exact same position.

I am changing this property, but nothing changes on the figure. From ipython, and when the figure is visible, I type:
gca().yaxis.labelpad = 100
but the ylabel doesn't move. I'm in 0.98pre from svn. What am I doing wrong?

Yust a guess: Try
draw()
to redraw the hole figure.
