Just updated to Matplotlib 1.5.1 and had to change my code to resize window, using

fig_manager = plt.get_current_fig_manager()
fig_manager.window.resize(16777215, 16777215) 

with big numbers crashes the kernel. I got the numbers using fig_manager.window.maximumHeight() (same for width) even with slightly smaller numbers doesn't work. It tries to maximize and then crashes.

• Matplotlib 1.5.1, Python 2.7.11, Linux Fedora 23
• I pip installed matplotlib
