I've run across some strange behavior in the way that pylab figures are updated. In a nutshell, if I run ipython:

`ipython notepad --pylab inplace`

and then create a plot object

`l = plot(X)`

If I later modify l in place (ie: change the data), nothing changes. I would think either:

* Creating a new plot image
* Updating the referenced figure

would work, but I guess that's a decision that has to be made! A notepad showing this problem is located at:

Thanks!
