You're quite right -- the paint handler should only blit to the
PaintDC, which, in this case, is:
self.gui_repaint(drawDC=wx.PaintDC(self))
However, if I comment out that call to self.draw, I get a blank screen
in a wxmpl app of mine. If I re-size the Window, then it gets draw
('cause the OnSize handler is re-drawing).
Also, in the same app, even when I call Figure.draw(), I'm notgetting it
updated.
So it looks like there is code counting on this extra draw call.
I'll poke into it a bit more, it may be somethign we can fix in wxmpl,
if there aren't issues elsewhere.

yes, it looks like _onPaint is inherited from FigureCanvasWx, so it's
the same issue.
