Whenever a figure is drawn using the standard ipython console, or the qtconsole (not inline), the figures are drawn in the background. They cannot be focused with the keyboard, either by cmd+tab or cmd+~. They appear on exposé, but when selected they switch to the background. When terminal.app or iterm.app are in full screen(Lion), they do not show in exposé either.

The only way to call them into focus is to find the window manually by minimising all others, and to click on the figure window.
