You can specify where ipython should output the plots: inline or by your
matplotlib backend (qt, wx, gtk, ...). I am using ipython 0.13.1 with
spyder 2.2.0dev and here I have the option in spyder to specify how the
ipython console should handle the graphics: Tools > Preferences > IPython
console > graphics backend. Seems that inline is the default. Switch to qt,
automatic or whatever installed/wanted backend you want to use. I don't
know if this feature is only available in the development version or not.

As a side note, you can also specify inline (or not) plotting of an ipython
console when launching from the command line as follows:
*ipython qtconsole pylab=inline* or i*python qtconsole pylab=qt* (for
plotting in a separate window)

David
