Either I updated something that changed Matplotlib's behavior or I am
missing something, but when I make a plot in ipython, control is not
returning to the prompt - I can't do anything until I close the plot.
Here is exactly what I am doing:

ipython --pylab

x=arange(10)
y=x**2

figure()
plot(x,y)
show()

Also, I am not sure if that is right.  In the past I remember just being
able to type plot() and the figure came up and control went back to
ipython to continue.  But I could be wrong.

Then, if I want to do anything else, I have to close the window.  The
backend I am using is WXAgg.  I also noticed that if I use the GTKAgg
backend, control does not return to the prompt even after closing the
plot.  I have to hit ctl-c to get the prompt back.  I have tried this
both with ion() and ioff().

I don't ever remember having to close the plot or hit control-c to keep
working.  I googled and did not really see anything relevant.  Could
anyone tell me what I am missing or what I need to do so that I can
plot in ipython, leave the plot up, and then continue working?

I have matplotlib 1.0.0 and ipython 0.10.1

Thanks for any help!
