Mid-session you can't swtich *GUI* backends in ipython because the
entire GUI event loop can only be initialized once. But at startup,
as of fairly recent versions you can do:
ipython -pylab -Xthread
for X in {g,w,q,q4}. This will force a specific threading/gui backend
regardless of your mplrc settings.
