Comment(by jhpalmieri):
How about separate matplotlib config directories for each version of
matplotlib? We could read the version from the file
{{{SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py}}} --
search for {{{"__version__ = ..."}}}. If the file
{{{matplotlib/__init__.py}}} does not exist, then matplotlib hasn't been
installed yet, so we don't care what we set MPLCONFIGDIR to, but if it
exists, we can set MPLCONFIGDIR to something like
"$DOT_SAGE/matplotlib-$VER".
(We could instead look at the name of the file SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python
/site-packages/matplotlib-VER-py2.6.egg-info, although if we upgrade,
there could be several of these files present, and this doesn't seem as
safe to me.)
