Further to @Kyle Kelley and @DGrady, here is the entry which can be found in the

$HOME/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_kernel_config.py (or whichever profile you have created)

# c.IPKernelApp.matplotlib = none

# Configure matplotlib for interactive use with the default matplotlib backend.
c.IPKernelApp.matplotlib = 'inline'

This will then work in both ipython qtconsole and notebook sessions.
