Launching Spyder either via terminal or menu, opens the same version.
In the KDE menu editor I see that the command for the Spyder shortcut is
"spyder %F".
Not sure what the %F does, haven't looked it up, but if I run that same
command from a terminal, the code runs fine again.

In the advanced settings I checked "Run in terminal", but that did not seem
to make a difference.
Is there anything else I can try in this configuration window? What else is
different between running something from the terminal and via the menu?
Does it load a different environment perhaps?
