Yes, most.  Are you sure you are using the right version?  Does line
1702 of figure.py read

        def clip_gc(gc):
            gc.set_clip_rectangle( (0, 0, self.width, self.height) )
        for t in self._text:
            t.clip_gc = clip_gc

I also tested with a ridiculously long figure title and did not get
the X windows crash after making these changes .  CVS should have
this, but as you've noted, sometimes the mirrors are a little behind.
If you have this and are still getting the crashes, let me know and
I'll sort it out.

That's great.  Unfortunately I can't look at them right now because
I'm logged in remotely from a win32 machine but will check them out
Monday.  If you'd like to send a script, I can add one of them to the
screenshots section of the home page.

Hi John,

The latest CVS changes seem to help! The new deprecations are gone, and 
my own title works on center justify.

But if I try an absurdly long title:
gcf().text(0.5, 0.95,'Distance Histograms by Category is a really long title that should flow off', font, fontsize=12)

Then I get an X Window Error and my script crashes. Most ungraceful.

For fun, I've attached the .pngs I've been working on. Lost-person 
behavior: distance travelled and outcome of the search, broken down by 
major categories. (Australian data)
