Darren,
barh_demo turns the grid on for the first plot only, but the grid is
shown for both. ipython -pylab also plots with a grid by default, and
shows
In [3]:rcParams['axes.grid']
Out[3]:True
I have not made any matplotlib.conf other than the one that is now being
installed correctly in mpl-data, and it contains
# display grid on regular or polar axes
grid = False
polargrid = True
grep indicates the True value is coming from mplconfig:
config/mplconfig.py: grid = T.Trait(True, mplT.BoolHandler())
config/rcsetup.py: 'axes.grid' : [False, validate_bool]
so it looks like somehow this mplconfig initialization is overriding the
value in matplotlib.conf.
