Kevin , Jon and I tested the examples on XP and it seems that they refresh when they are sent back and brought forward. The buttons (such as saving to a file) also seem to work. The version of matplotlib (0.98.3) used comes with pythonxy. The backend (python -c "import matplotlib; print matplotlib.get_backend()") it's reporting is Qt4Agg.
The enthought examples may be running in some different states from FiPy (such as pylab.ion() or pylab.ioff()). What backend is it using and what version of matplotlib?
