float argument required

I have made a plot and, when I try to save it as eps/ps, I get the
error "float argument required" in a pop-up window, whilst the
terminal shows this error message:

/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_gtk.py:1054:
GtkWarning: Unable to find default local directory monitor type

It seems that you are using the GTK backend. Have you tried this with
other backends, e.g. GTKAgg? If saving works with other backends, this
is likely a bug in the non-Agg GTK backend.

I can save it as pdf, but the quality is not what I want. The curves
do not have the thickness I gave them.

This could be a difference between the non-Agg GTK rendering and the
rest of the backends, or it could be a bug in the PDF backend. I would
be interested in seeing your script, especially if there is a difference
between PDF and Agg-based backends.
