Re: ipython notebook config options ignored unless placed in regular config file

Having taken a quick glance, allow me to observe as a software engineer and computational scientist of reasonable standing that what it actually needs is graphics. When people need this information it is frequently a show-stopper until they find the answer they need.

Or am I wrong? It wouldn't be the first time I was in a small minority. And none of this means I'm not committed to IPython as the brilliant toolset it represents.
