I just discovered that this nbagg backend is working! What a very nice 
tool! This was exactely what I was missing.

I didn't see comming along on the mailinglist that this was fixed. Thus 
by this, to draw everyones attention: try the nbagg plotting backend, 
simply by executing:
%matplotlib nbagg
