odd. I get the same with -pylab, but not without it. Actually --
plt.figure() does make a window come up, but it doesn't render
anything on there.
With plain GTK backend, I get a window after show (I started with
just -gthread), but the call to show blocks. Hitting ctrl-c after that
returns me to the ipython prompt, and the figure appears to still
update when I resize it, so I'm not sure why the call to show
blocked, given that the threading seems to work.
Actually, the above behavior is what I see even if I just launch
ipython without -gthread -- it even works in just vanilla python
shell, so it must be using the internal matplotlib threading
code.
