[Evolution] Evo 1.2 - spell checker missing English

[Etienne Tourigny <et omeo ca>]

Gretings,

A few issues related to spell checking:

1)

I have installed evo-1.2.0 with all the required updates.  I cannot seem
to add English(American or Canadian) to the list of spell checker
languages.  In the Settings under Composer Preferences->Spell Checking
the only available languages are French(France) and French(Swiss).  

Here are the spell checking rpms installed (found with rpm -qa | grep
spell):

aspell-fr-0.1-1
aspell-devel-0.33.7.1-9
pspell-0.12.2-ximian.7
gnome-spell-0.5-1.ximian.3
aspell-en-ca-0.33.7.1-9
aspell-0.33.7.1-9
pspell-devel-0.12.2-ximian.7

Curiously, I tried setting up a new account with another user (first use
of Evolution) and the following languages are available without any
intervention: English(American), English(Canadian), French(France),
French(Swiss).
 

2)

Furthermore under the gnomecc I cannot configure spell checking, when  I
click on "Configure spell checking" in the HTML Viewer & Editor:

Cannot execute GNOME Spell control applet.
Try to install GNOME spell if you don't have it installed.

But I do have gnome-spell installed(0.5.1)!

I noticed other gnome-spell packages that include
/usr/bin/gnome-spell-properties-capplet but the one supplied by Ximian
does not.


3)

How does one add a language to the list of available languages?  As I
understand gnome-spell uses pspell and the language dictionaries are in
the aspell-* RPMS (e.g. aspell-fr).  How about if I have a aspell
dictionnary that doesn't have a corresponding RPM?  Which files are
needed and where do they go? 

Thanks for your help,

Etienne
