Yes, I can "start up an iPython kernel" OK, but I wanted to open an iPython interpreter on start up, and it's the latter preference that's greyed out. (This happens on two different Spyder 2.1.11 installations one using iPython 0.13, the other iPython 0.12.1)
The reason I want the interpreter, not the kernel, is that Matplotlib graphics are displayed inline in the console with an iPython interpreter, and I want the extra interactive controls that a separate Matplotlib window allows.
