Brian, Fernando, I have been doing a little testing with ipython 0.10 versus ipython-newkernel, both modes, and with mpl svn versus your guisupport. There are so many possible modes of operation and combinations of versions and backends that all this will take some time to sort out. Can you give me simple examples of what does *not* work correctly when you use mpl *svn* with ipython-newkernel, in either or both of the console or gui modes, but *does* work with your guisupport version? Thanks.
