Hi,

Just for reference this windowing issue has been brought up before and
appears to be an issue on other backends/OSs:
http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18200.html

The last 
reply<http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18216.html>in
the thread suggests that controlling this behavior can be done, but
needs
someone with enough motivation to do it. Every few months, I get annoyed
enough with the current behavior that I look into trying to make the
suggested changes; soon after, I realize that I'm terrible at GUI
programming.

Best,
-Tony

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
