Several people have experienced problems along these lines, and we're
working on a fix.  This was the first release of the Tk backend so
please keep us up to date on other problems you find.  Using the "close"
command instead of clicking the x to close the window should work

>>> from matplotlib.matlab import *
>>> plot([1,2,3])
>>> close()
>>> plot([1,2,3])

Or you can use multiple figures at the same time with the figure
command

>>> from matplotlib.matlab import *
>>> figure(1)
>>> plot([1,2,3])
>>> figure(2)
>>> plot([1,2,3])
>>> close(2)
>>> xlabel('time')  # figure 1 is active
