Re: GtkSpell problems

[Ross McFarland <rwmcfa1 neces com>]

please remove gtk-perl-list from the to/cc on these messages as they do
not at all apply to gtk2-perl. this discussion (and possible suggested
changes as a result of it) would be entierly in the domain of GtkSpell,
the c library or even the backends, aspell/pspell/etc.

i probably should of run a spell check on this message. (now you know
why i implemented the bindings for it in the first place)
