Eric:
My processor is a 32 bit Athlon from about 5 or 6 years ago. The 
Tkinter was built along with python and I did one particular sed:
sed -i 's|# -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2| -ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4|' Setup.dist
so python would look for the version of tcl/tk that I have. I'll review 
that whole process later and report back if I find something interesting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just want to follow up with you on the results. Since my Xorg 7.2 is 
installed in /usr, I found that the original installation of Python and 
Tkinter needed some changes to Modules/Setup.dist. I used the following
sed's:
sed -i 's|# _tkinter| _tkinter|' Setup.dist ---to enable tkinter
sed -i 's|#	-L/usr/local|	-L/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate tcl/tk libs
sed -i 's|#	-I/usr/local|	-I/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate tcl/tk headers
sed -i 's|#	-L/usr/X11R6|	-L/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate X11 libs
sed -i 's|#	-I/usr/X11R6|	-I/usr|' Setup.dist ---to locate X11 headers
sed -i 's|#	-ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2|	-ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4|' Setup.dist ---for correct version
sed -i 's|#	-lX11|	-lX11|' Setup.dist ---required to build tkinter
So I completely removed python, numpy, mpl, etc and reinstalled everything, 
including the GTK requirements that got me going last time. The installed 
matplotlibrc called for the GTKAgg backend and that worked. But when I changed
that to call for TkAgg, the same thing happened as last time (the window appears
briefly and then segfaults). So I'm puzzled but at least I have a working 
installation with GTK.
Thanks,
Wayne

I am trying to draw a stacked bar chart where the 1st section is much
much larger than the others.
Is there a way to have a break in the chart passing through the 1st bar
that indicates part of the bar is missing?
