No spellchecking

I have no idea on how to implement that.
Might be planned for the next version, though... not ready for prime time

I have managed to incorporate a basic spell checker. Still massively buggy and doesn't work with anything more than one buffer - but its a work in progress! I can't upload/download to launchpad right now but will push a branch when I get back to blighty.

(If anyone wants to offer help, the error that I get with more than one buffer is this:
/home/adam/trunk/basic_edit.py:176: GtkWarning: gtk_text_buffer_apply_tag: assertion `tag->table == buffer->tag_table' failed
  self.spell.recheck_all()
)
It also requires that the user install "gnome-python-extras" but the implementation was just 2 lines of code so who can complain...

This could be implemented easily with PyEnchant (http://pyenchant.sourceforge.net/), which is available as a single package in apt and can work with multiple language backends. Working on a basic implementation now, look for a patch within a few days.

Revision 122 in my branch above now has fully-functional spellchecking on-demand; it requires PyEnchant, Enchant, and a backend for Enchant (such as aspell or myspell), but only one package needed to be installed in Ubuntu (apt-get install python-enchant). It brings up a GTK dialog box for each error, with a combo box to select a suggested replacement or input your own and options to change that error, change all occurrences of that error, add the word to a personal word list, or ignore all occurrences of that error. Type in some text with spelling errors (my standard test was a few lines with "This is smoe txet.") and press Ctrl+K to test it.

Still in progress; to do: move language and custom word list configuration to preferences.py; move dictionary definition to BasicEdit constructor; implement as-you-type checking.
