It would be really nice to have some info regarding "speed".
I don't know if one has to distinguish let's say the time it take to
draw a line with 100k points and the "general" felling of interactive
responsiveness !?
(E.g. I thought that wx was much faster than wxAgg ... just uglier )

There are no obvious problems with the toolbar icons on my system 
(Python 2.6.2 32-bit, PyGTK 2.12, PyCairo 1.4.12, GTK 2.12.11, Vista 
64-bit).

There is some detail along these lines at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#what-is-a-backend
but not the feature-by-feature comparison you suggest. But for WX vs
WXAgg, definitely WXAgg.

Thanks, committed. Are there any problems with the toolbar icons on gtk/win32?

Does there exist any big-picture comparisons of the provided backends? For
example, it would be nice to know what features each backend has or lacks.
It would also be nice to which backends were generally faster...and which
were recommended (WX or WXAgg).
