Answering my own question - the solution is to add a binding to the save
button, and prevent the event from propagating after calling new_save() by
adding 'return "break"' at the end:
def new_save(self, *args, **kwargs):
print 'save_figure pressed'
return "break"
get_current_fig_manager().toolbar.bsave.bind('<Button-1>', new_save)
I would still like to know why the mechanism that works for the Home button
fails for the Save button though...
