I have used the MacOSX backend ever since I started working with Python,
and there only was a warning for the last 3 years or so. Other than my plot
windows evading the control of Exposé/Application switcher I have never
noticed any problems with this. Thus my request in my initial post to leave it
as a mere warning, since I'd think people can switch on their own decision
if they do not like the interaction (or lack thereof) with the window manager.
Otherwise I would have to grudgingly switch to another backend (seems now
that I could live with QT4Agg-Quartz or the like though), since installation as
as framework is not an option with Fink.
Of course if there are any other possible negative effects besides the window
handling, I'd take your point.
Best,
Derek
