Mmh, unfortunately I can't seem to run your script, because I get a traceback:

In [2]: run qt_embedding.py
Warning: Unable to import the qt4 backend for pyface due to traceback:

This is on ubuntu karmic.  Do I need to run from SVN Enthought for this example?

It would be great if we could have a smaller example illustrating your
problem that didn't depend on all of Enthought's machinery, because we
really want to make sure things work OK with Qt.  I've tried simpler
tests using matplotlib with qt, and those seem OK so far.

One thing to try:

1. Start ipython *without* --gui
2. At the ipython prompt, type
gui qt
3. Try to run your script.

Then, repeat, but with 'gui -a qt' instead.  Let us know if  it
produces any difference at all.

If you have a simpler non-mayavi example, send it  our way.

Thanks for the feedback!
