I'm looking for a more asethetic solution.
I've only had a limited chance to test this but it looks very exciting. I am amazed by how quickly you go the ipython shell incorporated. I am still a bit vexed by the lack of support for emacs key bindings (I guess having ipython and readline support are not enough, but I bet there is some gtk console code out there to support them). I do miss my CTRL-a and CTRL-k and friends. As for the toolbar, I think functionality over aesthetics carries the day because it is easy to make it pretty after you make it work (and you can always make it optional with a flag), but note that you do not need to use the standard gtk toolbar widget -- you can write your own that works however you want. There is only minimal overhead for the toolbar writer that is fairly well documented in backend_bases.py. One option is to draw no toolbar at all but just just set up key bindings (press 'z' to toggle zoom mode, 'r' to toggle draw to rect mode, etc, or draw your own toolbar or whatever. But having the functionality is a killer feature, in my opinion. Keep us posted.
