Thanks,

This almost does what I want. The labels are now changed to log notation,
but the tick locations have remained the same. I want the spacing between
each logarithmic decade to be equal. I just did an svn up and rebuild so I
am working with bleeding edge matplotlib. Do I need to manually set the
locations of the ticks?  I'll play around a bit more with w_yaxis, I wasn't
aware of this.

Danke vel,

Trevor
