Is this an unaltered ipython, along with a matplotlib configured to
use Qt4 as its backend?  You mentioned having modified ipython
yourself, which is most definitely NOT needed.

I recently used this same ipython with the qt4 backend for several
days without any problem, so your report is rather mysterious...

So, make sure that:

1. You have a fully unmodified ipython.

2. Your matplotlibrc file has the proper backend setting:

backend      : Qt4Agg


We should be able to track this down, since we know it works fine for
others (myself and Darren included).

cheers,
