The reason I have to sudo to change those files, is because before I
started the demo I pasted before, I ran sudo spyder, and it changed the
permissions of .spyder2 to root, so I could no longer run it as a regular
user.

I installed spyder from source using root privileges, because otherwise it
would not let me write to the spyderlib and spyderplugins folders.  Whereis
spyder shows just one location.  Syslog does not show anything with a
timestamp around the time I launch spyder, and dmesg also does not show
anything I find suspicious.

Bootstrapping from the download directory is also ineffective:
anatoliy@ubuntu:~/Downloads/spyder-2.2.0beta3$ python bootstrap.py
Executing Spyder from source checkout
Revision None:None, Branch: None
01. Patched sys.path with /home/anatoliy/Downloads/spyder-2.2.0beta3
02. No PySide detected, using PyQt4 if available
03. Imported Spyder 2.2.0beta3
    [Python 2.7.3 64bits, Qt 4.8.2, PyQt4 (API v1) 4.9.3 on Linux]
0x. Enforcing parent console (Windows only)
04. Executing spyder.main()

At this point, it freezes, and I have to killall python.

Thanks again for your help.
