@Eric But this imposses alot of restrictions? I want to have the GUI backend with the toolbar and everything. If I do it like you propose, I have to create the figures on the side when calling from a ipython session. and when calling from my gtk app, I have to create by hand everything even the toolbars etc...
@Tom, I agree that the problem is within the figure manager. That is why I asked about the "unbalanced" ways to call Gtk.main and Gtk.main_quit I was checking https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2503 but I think the solution proposed there does not help me. As you know I am trying to get the multi-figure-manager accepted or at least reviewed, At the end, if the only way to use a nice GUI backend is without calling it from other GUI, it does not help to have a nice GUI backend, you will have to redoit anyway.
