Bug Description
In /etc/matplotlibrc the default backend is set to "Agg", which does not output anything in an ipython session.
Setting the backend manually either to "GTKAgg" (default in hardy), "TkAgg" or "GTKCairo" solves this issue. Why was this changed?

It was changed to go back to the upstream default. GTKAgg is also not DE-neutral so brings in a lot of dependencies by-default for KDE users, and also had some issues so it was decided to use the matplotlib default. People can easily change the backend so we're just trying to get a decent default.
