I've tried to use GTKAgg and it gives me an error message . I'm now
running on the MacOSX backend and the graphic window appears on the
remote screen (where pyton is running) rather than on the local one
(in front of which I am sitting). Any idea on how to open the graphic
window with a MacOSX or TkAgg backends on the local screen while
python is running remote?

Thanks again
Davide
