I agree that this should be done, but I just haven't found the time to look at
it (recently I have been looking at getting animations to work with the MacOSX
backend). Probably it is not all that hard, and I would welcome contributions
from other developers who use the MacOSX backend to get the non-interactive
mode behavior consistent with the other backends.
On a related note, something I found confusing for new matplotlib users is that
after first installing it, matplotlib is non-interactive by default. After
installing matplotlib, I think users should be able to try it out and make some
simple plots that appear on the screen without having to find out about
interactive behavior and edit matplotlibrc. Especially people that are new to
programming or to Python may be disappointed if their first plotting attempts
don't seem to produce a figure.
