Is this a bug or could anything be wrong with my Christoph, is GTKAgg the default backend in the win32 installers? It should be TkAgg. Are you creating a setp.cfg when you build your installer, as described at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/devel/release_guide.html#packaging For OSX and the python2.5 win32 binary I build, I use a Makefile to create setup.cfg so I don't forget :-) Or Bernd, did you explicitly set backend gtk in your matplotlib rc file ( http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/troubleshooting_faq.html#matplotlib-directory-location). Which installer dd you run (exact file name if you still have it)? Also, I recall that we patched gtk to use the png not the svg icon for win32 -- Bernd, what does your sys.platform report:: >> import sys >>> sys.platform 'linux2' We check in backend_gtk if gtk.pygtk_version < (2, 8, 0) or sys.platform == 'win32': icon_filename = 'matplotlib.png' else: icon_filename = 'matplotlib.svg' so you shouldn't be hitting this bug if your platform is win32.
