Sorry, I wasn't suggesting that it was a problem with the GTK backend; I
was asking if you were explicitly calling GTK.
IPython --pylab starts an event loop for the default matplotlib backend
(you can check this by printing `plt.rcParams['backend']`). If for some
reason your default backend is not GTK and --pylab starts an event loop for
that backend, then GTK-specific calls could cause problems. If this is the
problem, you could set the backend in your matplotlibrc file.
Alternatively, IPython has a -gthread command line option.
Like I said, this just a wild guess. Without example code, it's hard to pin
down.

P.S. sorry for the duplicate, Jorge. I forgot to reply-all.
