Ipython: cannot close a dolfin plot

The following script launched in an Ipython shell works as intended but I cannot close the plot afterwards. How to do this?

import dolfin

ymesh = dolfin.IntervalMesh(10, 0, 1)
Y = dolfin.FunctionSpace(ymesh, 'CG', 1)

ystar = dolfin.Expression('x[0]*x[0]')

dolfin.plot(ystar, ymesh)

dolfin.interactive(True)

I have Ipython version 0.13.2, and dolfin 1.2.0+ on Ubuntu 13.04.

Can't reproduce with yesterday's DOLFIN, IPython 0.12.1 running on Ubuntu 12.04.3 tunneled via SSH to Lubuntu 13.04.

Too bad, I have the same problem with IPython 0.12.1 and dolfin 1.2.0 on SUSE Linux.

Thanks for testing. It seems like it affects only me...

Yeah, window issues are pretty much system-dependent (see http://fenicsproject.org/pipermail/fenics/2013-November/000732.html for exmaple) so there is a little chance that somebody fixes it.

I see. That is really too specific. If you make your last comment an answer, I will accept it.

This would not be a proper answer:) I give a chance to someone else.

Reproduced here: latest IPython (2.x) and FEniCS (1.5.0) in Arch Linux with Python 2.7

Please note, that closing windows works only when DOLFIN is compiled with Qt.
