That would be great - there are some known gtk related problems with
the latest wx release that are independent of matplotlib. What
platform are you having trouble with?
As for the pixmap, what we've done in the past is I pick some suitable
gtk stock icon and we just copy that into a pixmap.

I don't think its necessary to support Axes, just to fail gracefully.
They are only used when people place them explicity, so I don't know
that it's necessary to interactively resize them. Failing gracefully
with something along the lines of
if not isinstance(ax, axes.Subplot):
error_msg('only works with subplots')
would satisfy me.

Whoa now, easy there.
