Good, then you may want to salvage the spell/language classes from
GtkhtmlEditor, which also talk to Enchant.  I wrote those a few years
ago based on a GLib proposal called GSpell that never went anywhere.
It's still languishing in Bugzilla.  If ever GLib does grow some spell
checking support, it's likely the API will be similar.
