I do expect that's it, but depending on the gtkspell version I load, some of 
them seem to load but not find the language pack for "en".  It's interesting 
that it's looking for "en", rather than "en-us", and it's almost as if I 
could finess the problem by creating a symlink somewhere if I knew where to 
look or something.  I already tried changing all the language related 
environmental variables, and creating a symlink or two between files that I 
could find, but it isn't quite working.

KDE seems to spell check fine, although it doesn't do it real time -- I have 
to push the spellcheck button in KMail or whatever,  and seldom do, but it 
works when I do.  PAN's the only thing GTK2 related that I'd like spell 
checking on, and it doesn't work, there.

I have upgraded to the 0.50 versions, I think, out of Cooker, which might be 
it.  However, one would think that GTK was as far ahead in that respect as 
KDE, yet KDE works and PAN/GTK doesn't.  Maybe GTK is insisting on 0.33 after 
all, while KDE works with 0.50 just fine.  <shrug>
