when I do plt.show() on some plot and then click on 'Edit curves lines and axes parameters' button, I'd like to see the label I've applied using ax.set_label('my_label'). Digging around in matplotlib\backends\backend_qt4.py. I found the following code as part of the NavigationToolbar2QT class:

                    title = axes.get_title()
                    ylabel = axes.get_ylabel()
                    if title:
                        fmt = "%(title)s"
                        if ylabel:
                            fmt += ": %(ylabel)s"
                        fmt += " (%(axes_repr)s)"
                    elif ylabel:
                        fmt = "%(axes_repr)s (%(ylabel)s)"
                    else:
                        fmt = "%(axes_repr)s"
                    titles.append(fmt % dict(title = title,
                                         ylabel = ylabel,
                                         axes_repr = repr(axes)))

Could an extra elif be added? It would only kick it if there was no title and no ylabel:

                    title = axes.get_title()
                    ylabel = axes.get_ylabel()
                    label = axes.get_label()
                    if title:
                        fmt = "%(title)s"
                        if ylabel:
                            fmt += ": %(ylabel)s"
                        fmt += " (%(axes_repr)s)"
                    elif ylabel:
                        fmt = "%(axes_repr)s (%(ylabel)s)"
                    elif label:
                        fmt = "%(axes_repr)s (%(label)s)"
                    else:
                        fmt = "%(axes_repr)s"
                    titles.append(fmt % dict(title = title,
                                         ylabel = ylabel, label=label
                                         axes_repr = repr(axes)))
