I first want to say how much I have liked using SmartOS.  Also I have been able 
to find just about everything I have been looking for in the package repository 
(pkgsrc.joyent.com).  It is complete and current.

Second, I know this is not a SmartOS question, but I don't know where to turn.

I have installed a suite of X11 and Qt4 libraries, Python 3.4, IPython 2.0.0, 
and Python modules (mathlibplot, ...) all in the hopes to perform some plotting 
within Python on SmartOS.

Now for the noob/novice questions:

I know that X11 is functioning (the good old xclock test), as I can run IPython 
in a qtconsole.  However, I cannot seem to see any of the plots that 
mathlibplot is producing.

There is a message that appears when starting the IPython environment: "Using 
matplotlib backend: agg"
When the plotting is occurring I receive messages like 
"<matplotlib.lines.Line2D at 0x352b678>" or "matplotlib.figure.Figure at 
0x346ae98>"

Where is it trying to draw these images?  How do I get these images to appear 
within an X11 window?

Eventually, I will want to generate files (JPEG).  But for now, I am just 
trying to verify the plotting interactively.

Does anyone know what I need to do?  Or point to documentation that would be 
helpful?

Thank You,
Richard
