Niklas, you were right. Thanks a lot!
I was using a gnuplot module and a quick look at it gave me impression it did take care of time issues and its method don't return until gnuplot task if finished. In fact it didn't, but sleep() inserted before set_from_file() fixed the issue.

That module is not so perfect in other aspects too, so I guess I should either improve it and send patches back to the author or make a less general purpose synchronous interface myself. :)

I've tested the what I described earlier today and it works. If there are two distinct images on disk, then calling gtk.Image.set_from_file() will automatically update the image gtk displays. This leads me to believe that it's a timing issue you're facing. The plotter.plot() method wouldn't happen to be asynchronous, would it? Because if it is it might just be the case that you update the gtk.Image before the entire image generated by gnuplot has been written to disk. Obviously, that's just a guess since I don't know how your plot() method works internally. But it would explain why the first update of your image (sometimes) doesn't take and the image on disk actually appears correct if you look at it after a certain time.

    I'm using set_from_file(), and it kind of works. The problem is
    that the image is updated only second time event handler that
    replots and invokes set_from_file() is triggered. I double checked
    replot occurs every time event is caught, when I open the image
    file manually it contains the updated plot.

    I added queue_redraw() after set_from_file(), but it didn't help.

    This is what I have there now:
      def apply_equations(self, widget, data):
            x_equation = data[0].get_text()
            y_equation = data[1].get_text()
            image = data[2]
            print "Equations: x=%s, y=%s" % (x_equation, y_equation)
            expression = x_equation + "," + y_equation
            plotter.set_expression(expression)
            plotter.plot()
            image.set_from_file("test.png")
            image.queue_draw()

    self.equations_apply.connect("clicked", self.apply_equations,
    (self.x_expression, self.y_expression, self.image) )

    If you're updating your gtk.Image contents via its
    set_from_file() method you don't need to request an update at all
    -- it happens automatically. Generally speaking, however,
    gtk.Widget implements a queue_draw() method which can be used to
    invalidate the entire visible area of a widget which in turn
    causes it to be redrawn. For your use this doesn't seem to be
    required though. Hope this helps.

        Hi,
        What is the proper way to reload gtk.Image contents?

        I want to make a simple educational gnuplot frontend that
        would allow playing with parametric curve coefficients by
        using spin buttons, expressions with substituted constants
        will be passed to gnuplot and generated png displayed in a
        gtk.Image. But I'm not sure how to request update of
        displayed image if the image has changed.
