We are getting seg faults on our Solaris platform at work when we use the blit API in GTKAgg. This has been going on for a while, and I don't know if it is in our pygtk version, or what. The line that is causing the crash is in src/_gtkagg.cpp
GdkDrawable *drawable = GDK_DRAWABLE(py_drawable->obj); But rather than spend any more time trying to track that down, I decided to try and remove the gtk extension code entirely, which would be a great help for building mpl and distributing binaries. I feel like I am close, but something is still not clicking (at least on my platform). I'm attaching an svn diff in case anyone has some ideas -- basically, it removes the use of agg_to_gtk_drawable in backend_gtkagg.FigureCanvasGTKAgg.blit and replaces it with gdk pixmap/pixbuffer calls. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Attached also is the example code I am using to test. Strangely, the agg buffer seems to be updating internally but the gtk window is only updating when I hover my mouse over it, and then only once until I activate another window and then re-hover over the mpl animation window. Thanks for any help! JDH
