Pyplot is designed mainly for interactive work, and for situations where 
no explicit calls to a gui library are needed.  When you do need to work 
directly with a gui library, don't use pyplot; let your explicit gui 
calls control the windows and the mainloop, and use the matplotlib 
object-oriented interface for the actual plotting--in a window supplied 
by the gui.

In the matplotlib/examples directory, check out 
user_interfaces/embedding_in_gtk2.py for an example of using mpl in a 
gui app; note that it does not import pyplot.  It's a very minimal 
example, but it does show how one can put a plot in a figure, which is 
in a canvas, which is in a window.  Everything beyond the figure level 
is via the gtk gui directly.
