[SciPy-dev] A few gui_thread improvements.

[Prabhu Ramachandran]

hi,

I just committed some code to gui_thread that adds a __setattr__
method to the proxy classes.  Without these changes the following
example will not work.

import gui_thread
from scipy import plt
p = plt.plot([1,2,3])
# so far so good.
plt.xaxis([1,2])

at this point you should see the xaxes bounds change but nothing will
happen.  With the newly added __setattr__ this should behave
correctly.  This should also make the behaviour of proxied objects
nicer.

I've also added a simple unit test for the new method.  You can view
the changes here:
