I'm posting this because I would like to
* know if anybody is interested in [GUI plot editor] feature,
too (couldn't find anything through searching the list).
I would like to see this capability in matplotlib.
* work together with you to make this something useful.
Not in the short term. 
* get information about an appropriate way to integrate this
into matplotlib (where to place the functions, etc.).
Try to follow the ideas of style sheets. If I want to change
the fonts on one axis, I probably want to change them on both.
Axes fonts are probably a bit smaller than the title font.
* finally see it integrated into a release, if possible.
To get this integrated into the release you will need a way
to support other backends. This means separating the
structure of the interface from the backend which implements
it. The alternative is to build up an interface using
matplotlib defined widgets, but I think you will give you
better results with less work.

I'm not saying that is *the* solution to this problem, but it's definitely relevant and should be considered before running too far with an ad-hoc solution.

I finally got around to installing the qt4 backend for traits. Switching on
the experimental config package built around traits in matplotlib, I was
really impressed with being able to do:
from matplotlib import mplConfig
mplConfig.configure_traits()
which yielded a dialog for editing matplotlibs default settings.
