#33056: py27-matplotlib @1.1.0 Change default backend to MacOSX?

After installing matplotlib on my mac, I was surprised to find that
matplotlib example code did not result in a plot being displayed. My
issue was that I had failed to notice the note regarding the default
backend being set to Agg, which is "non interactive".
Ticket #17691 was a similar issue, in which the newness (3 years ago) of
the MacOSX backend was cited as a reason to stick with Agg and add that
notice to the install. From what I can see (as a relative newbie to
macports and python), the issue in ticket 17691 regarding the missing menu
bar seems to have been resolved. Might it be time to switch the default
backend to MacOSX? Thanks! -Ian-
