which has the same dpi in both directions.

Hmm, you solve my problem on ipython-users and I'll solve yours.  :-)

Actually, I looked a bit at it yesterday and could replicate it.  I
haven't figured out where the root evil is.  Is it known to be safe to
run two separate tk processes in python?  Eg, I'm not 100% convinced
