[Evolution] no languages for spell checking?

[Scott Otterson <scotto u washington edu>]

In evolution 1.4.5, I can't get spell checking to work (show squiggly
red lines).  I'd try clicking and unclicking the languages in
Tools->Settings->Composer Preferences->SpellChecking but the list of
languages is blank, even though I have aspell and US and Canadian
dictionaries installed via red-carpet.

Any suggestions?
