Ok. I found the problem. When I initialize the tics the demo and  
command line function consistently.

* the "no tics and no labels" was mislabled. It should be "axis off"

* the problem that x/y labels always showing up when they shouldn't  
has been fixed.

* the changing font metrics are a mystery to me, but they have  
disappeared (for me), as well.
