I hope something like the code below (in debian-ispell.el) should help with
this (only minimally tested)
----------------------------- snip ------------------------------------
;;; ----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;; Handle ispell.el load at startup
;;; ----------------------------------------------------------------------
(defcustom debian-ispell-load-on-startup-nox nil
"*Load ispell on startup for console mode sessions"
:type 'boolean
:group 'ispell)
(defcustom debian-ispell-load-on-startup-x t
"*Load ispell on startup for X sessions"
:type 'boolean
:group 'ispell)
(defun debian-ispell-load-on-startup ()
(if (or (and (or (eq window-system 'x)
(eq window-system 'gtk))
debian-ispell-load-on-startup-x)
(and (not window-system)
debian-ispell-load-on-startup-nox))
(progn
(setq ispell-menu-xemacs nil)
(ispell-change-dictionary nil)))
)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'debian-ispell-load-on-startup)
----------------------------- snip ------------------------------------
and make it really an user option, allowing us to remove the problematic
code from the startup file (Yes, I also do not like that file to be user
editable).
Suggestions are welcome,
Cheers
