OK, this sounds /far/ too "MSWormOS-esque" for my liking. In fact, it's possibly the first time since I switched some years ago that I've had this happen, but anyway...
For some reason I can't trace, I lost spellchecking a couple days ago. After downgrading, testing, finding no change, reupgrading, even rebuilding a number of related packages (the gtk+-2.10.5 I just upgraded to and 2.10.4, pan-0.115 w/ amd64 patch and 0.114, gtkspell, enchant... doing a revdep-rebuild a couple times to see if portage detected any bad dependencies that needed rebuilt, no it didn't), I still had no spellcheck. Yes, the spellcheck option was checked. Then I simply toggled it off and back on, and vwalla! it worked! As I said, something forgetting its settings and having the problem solved by simply toggling them sounds /far/ too much like what used to happen when I was on MSWormOS for my comfort. I'm NOT used to having that happen on freedomware Linux! Anyway, I can't for sure say that was /all/ it took due to the other stuff I tried in the mean time, but whatever, if it took the other stuff, it also took toggling it to fix it, as whatever else might have fixed it didn't trigger until that toggle. Just a hedzup in case anyone else runs into the problem. I /think/ I had spellcheck working after the switch to pan 0.115 (w/ amd64 compiling patches) so that wasn't directly it, but I can't say for sure. Similarly, I /suspect/ it may have been due to the gtk+ upgrade to 2.10.5, but can't say for sure on that either. In any case, anyone else experiencing the problem, try the simple spellcheck toggle before trying anything else. It's /far/ too strange for comfort, but as long as it doesn't reoccur, I guess I'll not worry too much about it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
