ipympl: ipympl causes matplotlib deprecation warning

Every plot currently issues a MPL deprecation warning:

/Users/klay6683/miniconda3/envs/stable/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:932: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: nbagg.transparent is deprecated and ignored. Use figure.facecolor instead.
  mplDeprecation)

How can we fix this? Versions: MPL: 2.2.0, ipympl 0.1.0 (both via conda-forge) I only get the warning AFTER I activate the ipympl backend.

On the other note, seeing that not much is happening at this repo, is this really the official backend for doing dynamic plots in notebooks and j-lab now?

if 'nbagg.transparent' in set(rcParams.keys()) and rcParams['nbagg.transparent']:
