On a related note, I'm curious about usage of the Gdk and Wx (non-Agg) 
rendering backends.  They both have various shortcomings relative to Agg 
(no antialiasing, limited mathtext rotation, etc.).  Is there a real 
performance or other reason to keep these maintained at this point?  I 
don't see them as significantly easier for embedding in applications 
than Agg (since both GtkAgg and WxAgg spell out how to get a native 
image buffer from the Agg buffer without using C extensions).

Hope the question doesn't offend -- I can see their "reason to be" 
historically, but maybe those reasons are no longer relevant.

Cheers,
Mike
