I assume you don't have the full Ximian desktop but just evolution
installed. All my RPMS corresponding to this list have "ximian" in their
names. I am running the full Ximian desktop.

        aspell-en-gb-0.33.7.1-ximian.2
        aspell-0.33.7.1-ximian.2
        aspell-devel-0.33.7.1-ximian.2
        pspell-0.12.2-ximian.7
        aspell-en-ca-0.33.7.1-ximian.2
        gnome-spell-0.5-1.ximian.3
        pspell-devel-0.12.2-ximian.7

I tried this and still have no languages listed an a fresh account. So
your new account has spell checking working properly? Your problem may
only be a config problem with your old account. I'm suspecting that
something is wrong with aspell-0.33.7.1-ximian.2.

My HTML Viewer & Editor option has disappeared. I think in this latest
Ximian desktop/evolution update.

<snip> Nothing to say about the rest.

Maybe this info will help someone (from Ximian?) to see what's wrong.
What can I try or test to shed more light on this problem?
