Just playing devil's advocate here...
Considering how we can now have multiple show() calls and with the upcoming
ipython looking more and more spiffy, could there be a future use case for
this toolbar button?
On the other hand, how would the inclusion of this button impact users of
other interactive scripts that have added their own buttons? I mean,
planning for the future, can it be definitively said that matplotlib will
never add anymore toolbar buttons? Could developers rely on that real
estate not being taken over by rule of "eminent domain", if you will?
