Yes, indeed it looks to be the same problem. I have no idea what they
could be doing in Karmic, it sounds like a gtk/wx problem to me. I've
never seen that problem myself, but unfortunately I haven't had the
chance to test Karmic yet, I'm still on 9.04 and I don't have the time
to set up a test system right now...

We haven't heard anything from the ubuntu ipython maintainer on the
list though, it would be great if that person were to come over to
ipython-dev and give us some more details on the problem.

Sorry for not having a more useful answer right now for you.

Cheers,
