I was having the exact same problem as you until a moment ago. I am a complete novice, so tcaswell's answer was a bit cryptic to me. Perhaps you figured out what he meant or found your own solution. In case you have not, I will put this here.

Then I typed %matplotlib qt
into the IPython console on a lark and it works just fine now, although the plot appears in a separate window.
