Description: gedit doesn't tell the user that it requires
the aspell-<language> package in order to allow the
user to select a dictionary for spelling.
For example: $ pacman -Qi gedit Name : gedit Version : 2.30.3-1 URL : http://www.gnome.org Licenses : GPL Groups : gnome-extra Provides : None Depends On : gconf>=2.28.1 pygtksourceview2>=2.10.0 enchant>=1.5.0 desktop-file-utils iso-codes>=3.10.1 libsm Optional Deps : None Required By : None Conflicts With : None Replaces : None Installed Size : 17692.00 K Packager : Jan de Groot <jgc@archlinux.org> Architecture : x86_64 Build Date : Mon 21 Jun 2010 08:51:02 AM EDT Install Date : Mon 05 Jul 2010 04:41:08 PM EDT Install Reason : Explicitly installed Install Script : Yes Description : A text editor for GNOME Additional info: * package version(s): 2.30.3-1 * config and/or log files etc.: none needed Steps to reproduce: install gedit, goto menu Tools>Set language which will display a blank list unless the user has also explicitly installed one or more aspell packages. Spell checking without a dictionary is an exercise in futility :) |

Plus, just having enchant installed didn't give gedit the ability to spell check (eg informing the user to install one of the two packages you mention). In my case, gedit came down with gnome-extras and gave me no such warning.
