Interrupt is fixed

I'm afraid it's only an annoyance, and I doubt I'll be motivate to try to hunt
that down.

OK, my mistake. I'm using 1.1.1rc2.

I was using a new installation without any matplotlibrc, and was defaulted
to
gtk.

If I set:
backend : Qt4Agg

then the problem has returned.

Usually, the source of such problems is someone using a bare try...except.
KeyboardInterrupt subclasses BaseException. There is a subtle difference
between

try:
   foo()
except:
   pass

and

try:
    foo()
except Exception:
    pass

The first will capture Ctrl-C and throw it away, while the latter will
not. PEP8 recommends against blind usage of bare except clauses.

Happy hunting!
