Hi Matthias,


can you post the results of running the following:

import matplotlib
import IPython
print matplotlib.get_backend()
print matplotlib.__version__
print IPython.__version__


If you are trying IPython 0.11, this is a known issue as of 3
months ago [1].

There were also similar issues reported with using GTK [2], which
I believe were addressed in [3], and are waiting to be merged.

1. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/#issue/202
2. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/#issue/185
3. https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/237

best,
