Yes, Spyder doesn't start correctly under our version of SLES 11, but this 
is not a straightforward installation, so it probably is not indicative of 
a general problem on SLES 11. We have built many packages from source, 
including Qt and PyQt, so the problem is most likely with our build, I just 
wasn't sure how to track it down.  Thanks for the information in 
.spyder.ini, I should now be able to install and set it up for users.
