The spellcheck-enabled RPM works fine here in Mandrake 8.2.

I've noticed that you've added the following line to the changelog:
"- Mandrake "tweaks" for gtk and gtkspell naming conventions".

However, the dependencies still refer to gtk+2.0.  That's not necessary,
what's required is libgtk+-x11-2.0_0.  I use Pan without gtk+2.0 or
libgtk+2.0_0.

Since there are probably more Mandrake 8.2 users than me who don't use
any other GTK2 apps than Pan, it would be fine if they wouldn't have to
install unnecessary libraries.  (How many of them know that it's OK to
use rpm with the --nodeps option in this case?)

Or just create a symlink?
