matplotlib broken on fedora 12

Yes, I meant the 'save' button in the upper right.

It used to work, but some update seems to have broken it. Strange, so
far the only application that shows a problem like this (and I do use a
lot of different apps!)

Do you get any error messages behind the scenes? Does it work when you
save the plot using savefig? Is it same with different backends? I am on
GNOME. You seem to like using KDE, right?

Yes, I get this:

kfilemodule(29192)/kio (KDirModel) KDirModelPrivate::_k_slotDeleteItems: No
node found for item that was just removed:
KUrl("file:///home/nbecker/test1.cs")
kfilemodule(29192): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.
"
kfilemodule(29192): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''.
"

Yes, I am on KDE.

Have not tried savefig or other backend. (Have to learn how to use savefig
first)

Very specific KDE errors. Sorry can’t comment on these errors.

These are easy. Within IPython -pylab run your script with run myscript.py . Then do a plt.savefig(“myplot.png”) or whatever extension available to you. To change the backend go into your .matplotlib directory and edit matplotlibrc file. Find backend keyword and experiment with the available backends to see if you can reproduce that error.
