Bug Description

Binary package hint: inkscape

Ubuntu's Inkscape package seems not to be linked against gtkspell, to spell-check the text nodes. This feature included in the vanilla inkscape should be available to the user.

Look at the 0.39 changelog (Gutsy has Inkscape 0.45.1): "# The text editing box in the Text and Font dialog performs as-you-type spell checking (requires GtkSpell, http://gtkspell.sourceforge.net/). "

(Available in http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ReleaseNotes039)

The 'libgtkspell0' package already exists in my Ubuntu Gutsy box and Inkscape doesn't check my texts... I run 'ldd /usr/bin/inkscape' and libgtkspell doesn't appears in the list. But if I run:

mfernandez@ubuntu~$ ldd /usr/bin/pidgin | grep spell
        libgtkspell.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtkspell.so.0 (0xb7e28000)
        libaspell.so.15 => /usr/lib/libaspell.so.15 (0xb728c000)

So, pidgin has the spell-checking enabled.
