problem with 0.72/CVS qtagg on linux

With the updated qtagg backend, which worked fine on my OSX box but I
didn't test on my linux box, I get an error when trying to run a qtagg
plot (the previous backend does work on this box, so I think my qt
install is OK)

The offending part is "argument 1" of

            a = qt.QAction( qt.QIconSet( image ), text, qt.QKeySequence('M'),
                            self.window )

import qt
qt.PYQT_VERSION

199936

Also, the original intent of the backend_version variable was to
report version info for the underlying toolkit. Eg

  backend_version = qt.PYQT_VERSION

the backend is assumed to have the same version as the mpl parent.

John,
Looks like that ctor was added in 3.2 of qt. Looking back through 3.0, I think you should be able to just change the line to look like this:

a = qt.QAction( text, qt.QIconSet( image ), text,
                 qt.QKeySequence('M'), self.window )

which is a ctor supported by even version 2.3 of qt.

We tend to keep up w/ the latest versions of Qt pretty regularly. I may have to keep an old Qt/PyQt build around to test this stuff against...
