Why do xticklabels and yticklabels always collide?

My biggest problem with matplotlib is that the smallest yticklabel and
the smallest xticklabel always seem to lie on top of each other (or
close to it). See attachment for example. Is there anyway to make it
so these don't lie on top of each other? How can I make this the
default behavior?

Thanks,
Jeremy

This was just asked a day or two ago, and here's how that went:

I guess you could also change the LABELPAD value to bring the labels a
bit off the axes, so they can't collide, like:

axis.xaxis.LABELPAD = 8 #or however much you want

I don't know how you could make this default behavior, but making
matplotlib such that this was hard to do--instead of the
default--might be a useful improvement.

Oops I didn't notice the other message. Sorry for asking again.
