Which version of matplotlib are you using? There have been numerous
improvements to interactivity and multiple calls to show() in version 1.0
and beyond.
There might still be some issues with multiple gui event loops that I think
is currently being addressed by the ipython group. Maybe someone else here
might be more knowledgeable about that.
I hope that helps!
