Cool, this is working for me now.  Very nice.  Two more comments:

You must override draw_if_interactive *before* importing pylab:

    import matplotlib.backends.backend_gtkagg as backend_gtkagg

    def draw_if_interactive():
        """ Is called after every pylab drawing command """
        show(console)
    # do this before importing pylab
    backend_gtkagg.draw_if_interactive = draw_if_interactive
    import pylab
    import matplotlib.pylab
    from matplotlib._pylab_helpers import Gcf


and when I run in --pylab mode, the pylab namespace is not imported.
I have to manually 'from pylab import *' .  Is that intentional?
