I know others had this problem, so I'll mention a partial solution here.

It looks like the more common symptom is that spellchecking just doesn't
work, and that it can't be turned on in the settings.

Radek Doulik of Ximian was kind enough to give me some suggestions.

After following all of these steps (with a lot of installing of
libraries in between), my spellchecking now works again. Thanks, Radek!
