Well, I can assure you that I am neither working as root, I might be a newbie to matplotlib but not to linux, nor have any problem with the display. This problem is happening in both machines, remote (ssh -X, for sure, I've tested several times) and local, so no ssh conection. Anyway, I'm going to test a few more things and will let you know what happens.
