[Matplotlib-users] Pylab window won't close

[<axe...@bn...>]

Hi,

I run python + pylab in Linux.

When I type:
>>> import pylab
>>> pylab.plot([1,2,3])
A window pops up but nothing is drawn in it (!?!). So I type:
>>> pylab.draw()
The plot is then correctly drawn ( but I still do not see the lower 
buttons of the toolbar !?!)

My problem is that I cannot close the plot window nor by clicking the 
"upper-right-cross" button of that wndow, nor by typing:
>>> pylab.close()
The window remains displayed...

Does anyone have an idea where this behavior comes from ? I would really 
like to be able to close my plot windows.

I have following lines in matplotlibrc:
backend : GTKAgg
interactive : True
toolbar : toolbar2

Thanks in advance for your support,

Axel
