i just installed matplotlib and all the requisite dependencies, and it
seems to be running fine, except that show() is hanging and i’m not
getting a GUI plot.
I’m using the GTKAgg backend, which was automatically chosen by
setup.py with the ‘auto’ flag. i am able to save figures and all
that, but show() just hangs at gtk.main(). i’m not sure
why. i ran the example simple_plot.py with a --verbose-helpful
flag and this is my output:

and it just hangs until i stop it. i’m not sure what is going on - can anyone help?
thanks.
