Summary: Change language of spell checker in conversation windows
Initial Comment:
I use gaim in english, but chat with persons in
different languages. I found quite valuable the
gtkspell checker embedded in gaim, but when I'm
chatting in a different language it comes in the way.
This patch adds a new menu in the conv window to let
the user change the language of the spell check.
It works, but should be considered preliminary.
CAVEATS:
1. The code populates the menu from the aspell
dictionaries installed on the machine, but I didn't
find a way to discover which is the one currently used
by gtkspell, so the current selection is only valid
*after* the user selects something.
2. gtkspell seems to ignore completely the JARGON
concept of aspell, so there are some more dictionaries
in the list than what are in fact selectable.
3. The menu should not appear if the spell checker is
disabled.
Hope you find it useful, as I do.

I'm with Luke--we should wait until gtkspell supports this
fully. I don't know what the status of that is... or if it
will take any work on our part to implement it.

i am holding off on this sort of functionality untill the
gtkspell 3 release, which we are told by its developer will
have an api to make handling these things significantly
cleaner and easier. specifically, it will solve your problem
of kknowing what is selected.
