NULL tstate Error when using matplotlib together with Tkinter

I draw some matplotlib.pyplot figures onto a Tkinter GUI. When I destroy the window the "Fatal Python Error" is raised. I seem to not be the only one with the problem but I cannot read a solution to it out of the discussions. As it does not cause a rea开发者_开发问答l problem, but is just fairly inconvenient and has been bugging me for a while, I would be more than content with a way to just ignore and pass over it.

What's your platform, python version, matplotlib version ?

-- those details matter

Try the example shown here: http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg21791.html

does it work properly?
