Description:

Running mayavi2 without options, I'm getting warnings and errors trying to visualize a surface.
The warnings shown only within the Mayavi application are:
Warning (popup): "ICCP: known incorrect sRGB profile"
Warning (in Logger tab): "could not restore editor [TVTK Scene 1]"

Some errors are output only to the terminal emulator from which I started Mayavi.
I'm attaching the full log as captured from the terminal.

From some Googling, I found a workaround[1] mentioned on the Enthought mailing list with regards to Enaml, which appears to work well with Mayavi as well:

$ ETS_TOOLKIT=qt4 mayavi2

As an added bonus, this also makes Tab-completion work in the Python window, and in general the application feels more responsive.
Perhaps it is a good idea to put this in the Wiki.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
mayavi 4.3.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. $ mayavi2
2. File > Load data > Create built-in surface, leave Mayavi object editor at "Arrow" which is okay for this test
3. Visualize > Modules > Axes
4. Visualize > Modules > Surface
5. In Python interpreter window, try Tab-completing a symbol.

Thanks for letting me know. I think this is good candidate to add to profile.d. I have to rebuild mayavi anyway, so I might as well do it when I am at it.

I've switched mayavi to qt4 by default, by adding ETS_TOOLKIT to /etc/profile.d/ - you might need to logout and login to make the changes visible. If you have some further issues, reopen this issue. Thanks again for great report!
