I have noticed that on my machine, using this form does some unwanted changes to the plot. For example, if I plot a pandas timeseries, such as
a=DataFrame(np.random.randn(30,3),index=DateRange(datetime(1981,12,31),datetime(2010,12,31),1,YearEnd()),columns=('a','b','c'))
then plot with a.plot(), after opening and closing the form, the xaxis ticks change (both locations and labels, which morph from years to serial numbers), and one of the series changes color (from dark green to light green).

This is on python 2.6.1, matplotlib 1.1.0 with Qt4Agg backend on Snow Leopard.
