I think there are pros and cons, and I don't think the current design is simply broken. For example, it will be very distracting if the axes area changes while you're doing some interactive stuff (e.g., panning). Anyhow I admit that the default layout may not be optimal for figures with multiple subplots, and there is a room for improvement. There are a few approach you can take. * If you're only interested in saved outputs, you may use savefig with bbox_inches="tight". Note that this changes the size of figure. * Use Tony's script to adjust the subplot params automatically. * use axes_grid1 toolkit which enables you to change the axes position on the fly.
