That reminds me - if I select the GTK backend in matplotlibrc, I can
replicate the blocking behaviour in trunk as well, with:
x = randn(1000)
hist(x) # No window appears
show() # Blocks even after closing the window
Is this some quirk of my setup, or can anyone else replicate that? This is
matplotlib 0.99.3.
