Ah, that would be because I have reportbug configured to use mutt to write
the actual bug report, and that disables the Gtk editor.
Your change looks fine. I also needed to use the attached.

Subject: [PATCH 7/8] gtk2_ui: lazily import gtkspellcheck from the UI thread
If we import it globally (in the reportbug thread), we get:
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: SQLite objects created in a thread can only be
used in that same thread. The object was created in thread id
<some large number> and this is thread id <some other large number>
