A more serious issue though is the sudden absence in 8.2 of aspell dictionaries.
Aspell is on 8.2 Pro and they do have about 8 or 9 dictionaries, none English. I assumed English was a default but I'm probably wrong. You can in KDE control under Spell Checking enable Aspell over Ispell. If you do you get a wrong path error.
One problem I just noticed is that the English dictionary I said would be on the site on Tuesday isn't GPL, so I'll need to check if I can legally distribute it. What I may have to do is just post instructions of how to obtain it, and maybe a script to automate the process.

Thanks I look forward to trying it out.
John ======================
I too found several dictionaries available for aspell on the 8.2 dvd. It seems to work pretty well with English though and I am guessing as John did, that it was the default, as there are not english dicts. One thing I am wondering about too, this is probably more for James, is the new gtkspell program? I know when trying to install the rpm of Gaim 0.61 off their site, it kept crying about gtkspell & pspell libs! I ended up compiling gtkspell, but it didn't satisfy the pspell lib dependencies. James, do you know if the gtkspell is to replace others in the Gnome2.2 or can it be used/substituted for those Gnome 2.2 programs needing a speller?
