OK, I came back to debugging this and removed all -py27 packages except libxml2-py27 on which other packages depend. Then I reinstalled spyder-x11-py27 with only the packages it needs. It now works. So there is some other -py27 package that is causing the segfault. When I get a chance, I will install one by one and test as I go until I find it, and report back. But it may be a while before I can do this...
