The culprit was the fact that I have a dual display setup
where the two displays aren't of the same size. This
made my display region not rectangular, and in particular
I had a undisplayable "hole" in the upper left-hand region
of the rectangular bounding box of my two screens.
Hence when a X11 window was auto-mapped to somewhere
near +0+0, it was rendered into a void. I'm not sure if
the "fault" is with XDarwin or the window managers.
The reason twm seemed to "work" was because twm
doesn't automap any new windows unless explicitly
set by -geometry, and initializes the window placement
operation with the current mouse cursor location.
I'm surprised I hadn't been bit by this previously, but
then I've never entirely understood the window auto-
placement algorithm used by most windowmanagers.

Hi everybody,
I'm new to this list, so please don't be too impatient...
I would like to know which possibilities I have to customize the legend. =
I already found how to change the font size using font_manager and FontPr=
operties. What I'd like to have is a slight gray legend background. Is th=
is possible?
Greetings,

Hi,
I'm using Mac OS X 10.3 with fink. I've used matlabplot before, but 
since I've apt-get'd and upgrade'd-all, I've been getting the errors:
/sw/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:425: 
UserWarning: Could not open font file /Library/Fonts/NISC18030.ttf
 warnings.warn("Could not open font file %s"%fpath)
** (bubba.py:15740): WARNING **: `GtkTextSearchFlags' is not an enum 
type
** (bubba.py:15740): WARNING **: Cannot open font file for font 
Helvetica 10
** (bubba.py:15740): WARNING **: Cannot open fallback font, nothing to 
do
Then, matplotlib stops. I've reinstalled gtk, python, and matplotlib, 
but simply reinstalling does not seem to work. Does anyone know what's 
going on?

FWIW, twm seems to be the only WM that works for me.
I tried Xorg with fvwm, windowmaker, metacity, and blackbox -
none of these seem to work. (All of this is through fink.)
