blocking calls in pylab with gtk threading may be possible but it is
beyond my powers.  I would write this with a callback, eg create a
class that takes a callback in the constructor and calls the callback
after n clicks with a list of n coords.  blocking input calls may be
easier in tkagg.  If there is a gtk/threading guru on hand, I'd be
interested if anyone has ideas on how to do this.
