All I can say is that pure ipython is very likely to NOT work at all.
It makes too many assumptions about being in a terminal/readline to
work inside a random GUI. We do have in SVN (saw branch) a prototype
WX client that will allow this, but it's still a looong way from being
done.
For GTK, some people did hack something out:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Cookbook/EmbeddingInGTK
that works. I suppose you might be able to implement something
similar in some other GUI, but I've never tried.
By all means please post a similar page on the wiki if you do
something along these lines and succeed!
best,
