Wow! The demo looks so good.  Great work!

However, I am unable to run chaco on Linux.  I am running wxPython
2.3.2.1.  When I ran wxdemo_plot.py I got the basic screen but none of
the plots were there.  I also only saw one of the plots (the left
one).  None of the right ones appeared.  anyway, the following
debug.log file was produced.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I receive several of these.  

Thanks.
