No you don't!  ipython 0.6.2 *will not work* with interactive
matplotlib/gtk.  

ipython-gtk is not mentioned on the ipython site because it is not in
the main release yet.  It is only in CVS (and requires matplotlib CVS
as well) and is not yet fully functional.  That is why I recommended
to use pyint-gtk.py and included it in my email, which was written by
Fernando as an ipython-gtk prototyping script.  pyint-gtk.py will work
with the current matplotlib/gtk and requires no extra packages.

Keep your eyes on this list in the next few weeks for a fully
functional, integrated, ipython-gtk.

Sorry for the complexity - you're just coming into an area that is
being actively developed and changing almost daily.
