Hi

I'm using MPL 0.81 on a Debian box. When I call ipython with the pylab option I get a GTK message which bothers me.

···

   self.gtk.timeout_add(self.TIMEOUT, self.on_timer)

   Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.
   For more information, type 'help(pylab)'.

So far I discovered no problems while using MPL but I'm wondering what this message is.

cheers,

This is harmless, and will go away when you upgrade to ipython 0.6.15.

Best,
