This should probably be in the FAQ... you need to set the backend before
you import pylab, because importing pylab reads your matplotlibrc file
and does all sorts of setup:
import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('agg')
import pylab

Ahah, thanks - works much better now, I wondered why I couldn't affect
the backend 
In the FAQ would be very nice!
PS thanks to all the devs for matplotlib, it is very useful!
