Bug Description

Breezy daily build 20050924

When installing new languages via the language selector the languages are not
enabled for spellchecking in evolution.

I have to manually enable spellchecking for the languages I add, its kind of
anoying.

Thanks for your bugreport.

This can't be fixed for breezy because we are too close to the release right now.

An other problem is that language-selector set's global (that is machine wide)
preferences. The default language is the default for gdm and the console. Each
user can override this setting when loging in via gdm.

Language-selector can't modify user sesssions or users gconf settings. But
that's what it would have to do to change evolutions default dictionary. So I'm
not sure if this is something that can be done in language-selector.

It may be easier to fix evolution to spellcheck for the "LC_MESSANGES" value of
the users env. That would fix this bug because l-c sets a default locale.

Umh, evolution should enable spellchecking for all the languages installed,
mostly you will write in more than one language in a mail or send to different
people who has different languages.
